This publication brings together works from Jewell’s five-decade career, including collages and photographic assemblages, film installations, digital montages, and prints. It marks the artist’s first major retrospective publication.
Jewell’s conceptual practice is grounded in social observations that question human behaviour through parody, irony and humour. Since 1968—when he began salvaging discarded photobooth images—his interest in collecting, grouping, and reproducing photographs has evolved to encompass ever larger sets of visual material.
Responding to an ever-shifting media environment, Jewell’s work has continually evolved alongside changes in how images are produced and circulated. This exhibition traces that parallel movement—from hand-collaged newspaper and magazine compositions of the 1970s, to television imagery, and ultimately to internet-based montages created with Photoshop.
