The Stagings series explores how images are constructed and how then can be reorientated. Image surfaces are ripples of forces and feelings that shape contemporary experience. Through collage, Spillane takes apart and reassembles images to consider how they function as desire-loaded affective structures. This approach examines image relationships with plays of fragment, sign, and surface. With different tactics of disassembly and reconstruction, these works are a searching for something new through the potentials that mass-produced images hold. This is an on-going series from 2019.
