This print by Peter Saville, Paul Hetherington and Howard Wakefield is titled Waste Painting #3. The graphic designer Peter Saville is particularly known for his striking record covers for bands such as New Order and Suede. This image is abstract, as if the designers took an image and turned it into waves of colour, moving across the sheet like liquid.
This print is included in a limited-edition box set of prints and photographs, published by SHOWstudio in 2001. The set consists of a range of works by a variety of people in the creative industries, from photographers to pop stars, and the works – a collection of art, artefacts and fashion ephemera – are exclusive to this set. The mix of media and creative practitioners involved in this portfolio reflects the interests of the SHOWstudio project, concerned with contemporary image-making, fashion and multimedia. It could be described as a time capsule or a modern archive.
