DescriptionMatthew Whitehead studied BA Fine Art: Painting at Wimbledon College of Arts. He says:
'This painting picks upon the natural patterns and finish of products that furnish our everyday experience and embellish in the most conspicuous fashion. It mirrors the aim of such design, ironically inverting the fulcrum of value by making toilet paper in to painting and hoping that by having a pleasing aesthetic it may in turn fulfil its objective as an object fit for human consumption.'
