First Play is a Silkscreen Print by contemporary artist Poppy Faun. Printed onto 270gsm GF Smith’s Zen Pure White Paper, the print is from a limited edition of 30 and is signed and numbered by the artist.

Collage artist and graphic designer, Poppy Faun, uses unique 1960s and 70s images to create an aesthetic of escapism. Futuristic and otherworldly, through the piecing together of fragments from the past, Faun’s work fuses rock and roll and retro fashion with a revolutionary edge.

Deeply reminiscent of the 1960s, First Play depicts a black and white spiral of concentric circles, spinning with hallucinatory force. Over this, Faun has collage a grainy image of a woman, her body crouched, her head tipped and her face obscured by her long, blonde hair, as she reaches forward, her finger pressed onto a tiny, miniaturised record player. Like Jefferson Airplane before her, Faun’s print is an acid take on Alice in Wonderland, reeling through a world of impossible proportions and endless possibility.
