Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Tom Ford is a bold fusion of luxury and urban decay, crafted from found street posters in New York City. Layered with metallic fabric, thread, zippers, and magnets, the piece embodies a dynamic interplay between high fashion aesthetics and the raw, ephemeral nature of city streets. Through slicing and weaving, Gibson-Cornell distorts and reconstructs remnants of advertisements, transforming commercial imagery into an abstracted, textured composition. Tom Ford captures the tension between glamour and grit, permanence and impermanence, reflecting the ever-shifting visual landscape of contemporary urban life.
