A
series of 15 images combining familiar objects with landscape. The starting
point for this work was a kind of anthropological reflection on objects
found at car boot sales, objects that on the one hand didn't seem to merit
much attention but on the other seemed to embody some of the complexities
of our culture and sense of identity. In the work, objects with associations
of social class or systems of belief are presented up close for careful
scrutiny. The tidy arrangement of domestic items, jewellery and ornaments
makes reference to the ordered displays of the ethnographic museum, with
the landscape backgrounds functioning as awkwardly supportive backdrops,
echoing the museum diorama - where artefacts playfully combine with spectacle. |
