Article 50.

‘winning democratic legitimacy in today’s public environment is to secure qualitatively favourable coverage, which accentuates the positives and downplays the negative features of a politician’s or public identity.'

-Matthew Kieran "Media Ethics"

The 2015/2016 work Article 50 explores not only the relationship between the media and politics but how the electorate interact with political ideas and the iconography they use. The union flag becomes a theme throughout the work clearly linking the argument for Brexit with some nostalgic notion of national pride and former greatness. This satirical work examines UKIP, their followers and their relationship with the media.
