Original artwork description:
We generally accept what we see around us without question or contemplation, and as a result we often don’t notice or appreciate interesting details or unusual situations.
A display shelf of chairs in a retail store, for example, presents a visually arresting spectacle, when looked at properly - it represents a completely out of context way of seeing chairs. When re-presented in the context of art, the image takes on new meaning; there are subtle connotations of mass production and authenticity – the notion that creating an authentically personal home environment has essentially the same personal values as that of a tin of beans on the supermarket shelf.
Materials used:
Mount board, card, paper, pastel.
