I bet you can't guess what these images are?
No idea?
They're large photographic prints of the vintage model car decal sheets you probably had as a child -
"tiny snapshots of color and shape that over time become elemental symbols and glyphs in the personal mythologies unique to each of us".
Seeing these tiny decals exploded to such a large scale really exaggerates the print quality and colour creating a wonderful patina and a warm feeling of nostalgia.
