Oscar Davis

Oscar Davis is an emerging artist. His practice aims to create future capsules — objects from our time, imaginatively transported into the future where they are examined by archaeologists as evidence of how twenty-first century society (dys)functioned. These capsules are comprised of pyrographically inscribed plywood and hollowed out washing machines, and seek to fossilise the visual language of branding. He likes speculative archaeology, plastic, and long walks on the beach.
