'Growing' combines the delicacy of a botanical illustration with the sharp interruptions of neon strips, fragments of text, and geometric cuts. At its centre, a soft, full bloom anchors the composition, but its organic calm is fractured by verticals and diagonals that feel like both scaffolding and interference. The tension between natural flourishing and imposed structure speaks to resilience. The work asks how growth happens: through care and nurture, but also by navigating pressures, systems, and obstacles that surround and shape it.

Zeros and Ones of Loving Grace explores the tension between technology and emotion. Layering text, numbers, and bold geometric forms, it transforms digital codes into a reflection on tenderness and resilience, asking how love persists within an increasingly ordered, data-driven world.

‘Shredded Camellia’ layers botanical illustration with bursts of cut paper, colour, and typography, creating a dynamic tension between fragility and fragmentation.

The delicate bloom at the centre anchors the work in a sense of natural beauty, while the surrounding shards of neon, torn edges, and scattered letters disrupt and reframe it. In this piece, Serbutt transforms a traditional floral study into a field of interruptions – gesturing towards the ways memory, history, and even beauty itself are mediated, cut, and rearranged through time.

‘Test 1, 2’ examines the increasingly blurred boundaries between human creativity and automated systems. Through his signature collage language – layering industrial typography, fragments of print, and raw, torn textures – Serbutt captures both the rhythm and dissonance of our technological age.

The composition pulses with the energy of testing, debugging, recalibrating – a metaphor for how we adapt to a world saturated with algorithms and “enshitified” digital spaces. Yet amid the chaos, there’s humour and humanity: a reminder that the handmade still resists, questions, and asserts presence in a machine-led culture.

‘Checked By’ draws on Bauhaus-inspired geometry and precision, using clean lines, bold diagonals, and modular blocks of colour to create a sense of rhythm and balance. The stamped text introduces both a bureaucratic echo and a human trace, hinting at the overlooked systems of validation and control that filter through daily life.

In contrast, small gestures – arrows, dots, hand-drawn marks – undermine the rigidity of the grid, inserting playfulness and imperfection. The piece sits at the intersection of order and disruption, suggesting how even within tightly structured frameworks, individuality and human presence insist on breaking through.

This collage brings together fragments of print, typography, and geometric forms in a vibrant yellow field that radiates energy and optimism. Torn textures and precise graphic elements interact in layered rhythms, reflecting the visual language of magazines and design.

Through careful composition, everyday printed materials are transformed into a dynamic structure of balance and movement. The work celebrates the beauty of found imagery and the possibilities that emerge when disparate pieces are reassembled, suggesting resilience, play, and the creative potential of fragments coming together to form something new.
