Jemima Wyman’s practice explores camouflage as a visual and psychological device related to power. Billow consists of collages of photographs depicting smoke used in recent protests and demonstrations, all of which are related back to ‘camouflage’—a word derived from the French term camouflet, which literally means ‘a whiff of smoke in the face’.

Wyman finds images online depicting plumes of smoke generated from flares, fires, and deterrents, cuts them up and collages them together to make various formations.
