Xan Blood Walker works with digital photography that she prints on paper, canvas, metal, and wood. Her work sometimes consists of a single photo, and is sometimes a collage of photos. Xan's work explores her urban environment and the impact it has on different aspect of our lives; tangible, experienced, and sensed.
Xan Blood Walkers photo collages are bold, contemporary, works of art, that seamlessly blend humour and darkness. She has a clever eye that utilizes elements of design. She draws heavily on her background as a homeless, addicted, 80s punk rocker, and if you know that scene you will be able to see the influence of that dark, beautiful, rough, authentic, and deeply touching period in her life.
She prints primarily on canvas and metal. The canvas is warm, and the metal is cold. Each add a different element to the work. Because they are photographs the final size of the image can be variable.
