The story of this work

Overview

Paul Schneider, a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools, created *Desert Island Dreams* in 2015 as part of his prize residency at Jealous Print Studio. The work stems from his broader practice of reworking pre-existing images and familiar graphic styles to examine visual communication. It was produced as a limited-edition print during his residency, which culminated in a group exhibition of that year’s graduate prints. The edition was later donated to the V&A’s print collection.
