About the work
Screen Capture was shown in Michael Hill’s 2022 exhibition 1+9+8+4=22, a sequence of twenty-two paintings responding to George Orwell’s novel and its echoes in contemporary life. The title brings the language of digital images into that literary setting. It invites reflection on the relationship between seeing, recording and the ways experience becomes an image.
