Eliza Hutchison’s practice interrogates the material, illusionistic and psychological properties of photography. Here, images appropriated from posters for the teen movie Twilight are distorted, shredded and recomposed to create images that are abstracted but occasionally made familiar as portraits of Hollywood actors emerge from the strips and shreds of papers. Ideas of nature and culture are further conflated in an accompanying sculptural work in which the shredded movie posters are reconfigured as a pagan corn idol.
