This work is a response to the contemporary consumer environment. By treating artefacts of consumer culture as ready-mades, I create assemblages to form a pseudo monument that provide a precarious externalization of culture as social life story. The totem articulates of accumulation and materiality and encourages debate about consumption, media, class and the ways in which we feel required to consume.
This sculpture is an image recorded of a second of life. The piece provides added comic support and at other times it pushes the viewer into searching for deeper meaning.
Balance is generally stunning just before it collapses. To this finish, the emphasis in this works is the beautiful, playful, transitory arrangement of the objects in space, where the chair, trolley and boxes are choreographed into moments of elusive suspension. The assemblages do not simply look impermanent; the photographs are the only evidence of its existence.
