Analogue Collage + Animated Artwork
By Miss AL Simpson
In WAY OUT, torn fragments of mid-century fashion magazines collide with surveillance textures and glitch-block ciphers, evoking a fractured archive of feminine mythologies—both remembered and manufactured. Each figure is frozen mid-expression, trapped in a system of measurement, branding, and erasure.
Yet this is no nostalgic collage. This is defiance in layers. The analogue piece, physically worked and weathered, carries the scars of its own making. And in its digital counterpart—the animated loop—the fragments twitch, blink, and breathe back into life, as if the ghosts of late capitalism are trying to escape the frame. It’s not a loop—it’s a stuttered protest.
The embedded signs—“Museums,” “Way Out”—aren’t just literal directions; they’re conceptual ruptures. They ask: What systems preserve us, and what systems confine us? Is there a way out of institutional frameworks for the female image? A way out of art as asset?
With WAY OUT, Simpson offers collectors both artefacts: the physical and the animated. This is the genesis artwork in this series and the collector will receive both the framed and signed Analogue Artwork and the Glitched Animated NFT.
