Lyndon Watkinson (1999) is an artist, designer, writer, and musician based in Sheffield, UK. Democratising art and art context through artworks, publications, graphic design, articles, and sound. Creative director and founder of the online arts organisation SU4IP. His work is characterised by a desire for precision, often depicting aesthetics that celebrate and criticise the absurdity of corporatized identity, calling into question the necessity of creating false exteriors when what is not seen is often just as important.
In late 2020, a blog post entitled Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place formed part of the wider inquiry and development of his practice for his bachelor's degree in fine art. As his work matured, he applied this term as a formalisation of his creative endeavours, later abbreviating it to SU4IP, now used as a digital alias and publishing entity.

1. All internal states of Australia are represented in sections portrayed in the colours derived from their respective state flags: Western Australia (left, yellow), the Northern Territory (top centre, orange), South Australia (bottom centre, light orange), Queensland (top right, light blue), New South Wales (upper bottom right, yellow), Victoria (middle bottom right, red), Tasmania (lower bottom right, white), and the Australian Capital Territory (upper bottom right, navy). 2. The navy border around this flag represents how 85% of Australians live on or near the coastline. 3. The seven-pointed star on the ACT portion of the flag is synonymous with Australian identity and culture. 4. The packing tape connecting the bottom right sections to the outer sections represents how the majority of the Australian population and wealth are located in the south-east region of the country and are financially supporting the other areas. 5. On the far left, the Royal Mint logo is ripped off and removed and replaced with the logo of NPA (Note Printing Australia) to represent the nation's transition from the Australian Pound to the Australian Dollar. 6. On the bottom left, there is a rip in the flag with a black background and the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag beneath it. This represents the fractured reparations the Australian government made towards the indigenous people in terms of representation in response to the White Australia cultural genocides of the 19th and early 20th centuries. 7. In the centre of the flag is a postage label from Australia Post, edited with the ABCsans Font used by the Australian Broadcasting Service, which includes the names of all Australian state capitals and their ISOs. 8. In the top centre of the flag is the British East India Company sticker from my UK flag, which has been partially ripped away to represent Australia’s transition away from being a British colony and becoming its own autonomous nation.
