Through their main mediums of screen-printing and collage, Casey’s work predominantly explores his fascination with voyeurism, obsession and popular culture whilst looking to question both society and his own personal psyche.
Using images taken from sensationalist tabloids, beefcake magazines and editorial spreads, Casey builds worlds full of irony, humour and fear that aim to showcase the nature of an excessive lifestyle and experimental sex life whilst alerting the voyeur to the danger and downfall that comes with it.
