‘Exposure’ is a collaged narrative created using found printed material from newspapers, magazines, leaflets, maps and plans, put together in a scrapbook-sized work. The artist often uses found material in his work, going through skips or pilfering materials from derelict buildings.
The book's pages, which are finished with Tilson’s own artistic touches, tell the story of a round trip on an 88 London bus from Chiswick to the National Gallery to look at ‘The Nativity’ by Piero della Francesca, post nuclear holocaust.
In his publications for the Woolley Dale Press the found material used is of the graphic variety, and takes the form of elaborate collages produced by means of colour Xeroxing. In ‘Exposure’ the collaged compilations of photographs, media headlines, trademarks and graphic signs are interwoven with narrative fragments to depict a visually riotous and intriguing urban adventure.
