“Through the lens of his Caribbean heritage, GA Gardner’s work uses [print] media content to create an intimate viewpoint of his intercultural experience. He dissects, covers up, reveals, layers, and re-contextualizes the material in the print publications he uses to construct pieces that specifically discuss issues of politics, race, culture, and identity.” By deconstructing the images into torn paper strips and overlaying and unifying colors, Gardner often reduces the original content to shades. He incorporates urban Western grit, geometric African lines, and indigenous weaving techniques in his “unified montage of textures.”
