“Chaotic, counterfactual, constantly writing and rewriting its own narrative, Gorse’s photography is a rich commentary on the consumption-driven excess of our contemporary present. His visual language is an expression of laissez-faire economics at its most unhinged: a trolley dash through Walmart five minutes before closing time, laying hands on hothoused fruit, grotesquely colourful garments, and injection-moulded plastic: rubber gloves, beach balls, candy, boardgames, stickers, fluorescent masking tape, computer parts, random plastic trifles (latex, vinyl, nylon, acrylic, polystyrene). Gorse’s photographs confront us with the banal excess of late-stage capitalism, and his ability to stage this carnage as hilarious, hypnotic, and slightly tragic at the same time is nothing short of genius” – Eugenie Shinkle Doubt I could put it better myself tbh. 

What I will say is that Henry is a real good egg / wild flower / top banana amongst people in our area of work. You’ll struggle to find someone at Henry’s level of skill & experience who is as open-palmed about a collaboration and myself and Max will be eternally grateful for that. Trust leads to trust, doing leads to learning, making leads to friendship. Seems so obvious but it’s easy to forget to have fun.

As for the question on everyone’s lips; to find out you will have to buy one of the limited run of 500 at www.henrygorse.co.uk ⁉️
