Simon Periton skillfully creates oversized cut paper works creating, in effect, enormous colorful doilies. The subject of these doilies ranges from pictorial translations of Great Britain’s social history, to representations of rural landscapes and urban wastelands. His romantic visions consume the viewer through overwhelming size and nostalgic longing.
