“Home” wall-hung

Description

Pigeon coop made from casts of various Victorian clay pipe bowls, shells, Edwardian glass trinket dish, 1950s tin chocolate mould, mounted upon contemporary plastic packaging base. Designed to be wall-hung.

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.
