3 for 2 on Deities
Featuring a large-scale digital collage projection, mixed media sculptures, found objects, and layered atmospheric sound. The work was inspired by a pareidolic moment, when I saw three feminine figures in the bark of a tree. I imagined them to be spiritual symbols, and started thinking about our propensity to commodify the promise of comfort. I reproduced the figures using cheap, fast production methods and displayed them in a fake shop setting. The piece also looks at the cultural elitism that still surrounds decorative art. A mass-produced trinket can mean just as much to someone with limited means as a fine art sculpture can mean to someone wealthy who believes they have perfect taste. This work questions who decides what has value, and why.
