“Pause”

Description

Hare made from casts of Victorian knife handle, tankard handles and Shamrock clay pipe bowl 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.
