These collages from Cardiff based illustrator Stephen Madoc Pierce initially, seem quite bright and optimistic, but in fact come with quite a dark undertone.

In an interview with Cardiff School of Art, he expresses his desire to create a feeling of the ‘uncanny’, taking inspiration from this Freudian concept to give an extra depth to his work, and a feeling of uncertainty for his audience as they approach them. I’m looking forward to seeing more from this young Welshman.
