Found objects, a silver case that held a lone BBQ fork. Some of my other found objects have been aluminium cans, so I have been quite obsessed with the shapes and the way they’ve been crushed into all different dimensions. Then I continued to paint them with some lovely colours just to experiment and see what came out. I this is working towards a series of Assemblages the overarching themetheme I’m not sure about yet.
So I thought of complete opposite in regards to the silver case, I lined it with some red leather and flowery summery material, then I wanted to keep the essence of the container because it had BBQ equipment in it. So I placed the cans in a display /case fashion.
So it’s kind of like the idea of a picnic and the aftermath of how barbecues or picnics sometimes turnout. A remnant or fossil all relic of the past, the colour on the cans could resemble the party, they could also resemble the fact that so much stuff gets graffitied once it’s thrown away.
