CENTURY BUDS

 

Installation at BACC Bangkok  2018

48cm | 220cm | 250 cm x 10cm

chromed steel, copper, verdigris, felt

 

Objects of solid copper, or polished chrome which seem to bud on both ends soft felt, are reminiscent of cosmetic tools, just rather oversized. Extraterrestrial objects or objects for extraterrestrials, or at least for elephants (?) the Anthropocene calls for a different point of perspective to recognize itself. The buds hovering around the visitor mimic their cleansing of the spatially mental, and could act as a haptic link between the artists conceptual work the plein air sculptures.
