David Woodward (b. 1991, Port Hope) is a visual artist based in Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada. Working with found-imagery and photographs, they utilize the medium of collage to find pathways and relationships between seemingly disparate visuals and sources. Using imagery gleaned from used books about the environment, astronomy, horticulture and design, their work reflects a composite visual landscape of objects, figures and situations built from anachronistic fragments of the past.
