Blocked: Duran Duran
Digital artwork sublimated on panel, float-mounted on wood block
This piece is part of Blocked, a series that explores pop culture through fragmentation, nostalgia, and physical presence. Each work features a digitally created portrait of Duran Duran, sublimated onto a 2.5 × 3 inch panel and float-mounted with decorative nails onto a 3.5 × 5 inch wood block.
The elevated mounting creates depth and shadow, emphasizing the separation between image and object. By isolating Duran Duran within a compact, tactile format, the piece treats the subject as both icon and artifact—contained, framed, and slightly removed from its original cultural context.
Blocked examines how figures from film, music, and counterculture become compressed into symbols over time. The small scale contrasts with the subject’s larger cultural footprint, inviting the viewer to reconsider familiarity, memory, and the way identity is shaped through repetition and reference.
