Crossing over inside the machine

I thought that one of the most abstract things I could do was to do some glitch-art (ie, moving the thing you're photocopying, as it's being scanned), and then I did some cut-and-tear-and-paste after that.... the Union Jack was randomly chosen, and it was only after I saw the results that I decided this collage was about Brexit, and so now it is.

    I find the whole brexshit thing too depressing to make collages about but well done for having a go! I see it all more fragmented and distorted than that - you've made it look far too attractive!

      Thanks Michael, yes perhaps I should've left out the Brexit bit from the title etc... and left it up to people to interpret it their own way, especially as it is meant to be an abstract after all... It looked quite ominous to me, even more so when I turned the collage upside down and decided I liked it more that way (ie the way it's shown here)
      Actually, yes, I'm going to remove the B-word from the title!
