NOW, 2013.
I often use materials that have inherent historical significance, both in the art world and everyday life. However, for this artwork I found a large number of ‘NOW’ sale label rolls in a scrap store. These rolls had much more social, cultural and political significance due to the current state of the economy and the recession. It was a departure from what I have worked with before, in my practice
Aesthetic quality of the banal and what it could become through manipulation was the interest here. This material has so many possibilities and is something I wish to pursue experiments with in the future in my studio based practice, alongside the site specific experiments that are to be explored further from the knowledge I have gained from[OCCUPIED] and Bohemian.
