“Flower Bearer”

Description

Figure made from casts of Victorian knife handles, spoon bowl, tankard handles, Georgian teapot spout, 1930s perfume bottle mounted upon contemporary plastic packaging base.

The discarded object, whether it be a vintage domestic item, a mudlarked find loaded with meaning, even a piece of plastic packaging are all relevant to my process; to make comment on mass consumerism within contemporary society. I employ the found object by first casting it to make a press mould. My Flatbacks narratives can be a time consuming process, made of anything up to fifty separate elements.
