Cubes

A contemplation of hierarchy and perceived virtue of simplicity, responding to contemporary ‘greiging’ of a complex world, exacerbated by a culture of reductionism, immediacy, and prioritisation of low production costs. Post-consumer glassware is constrained into a box and painted to minimise variation, with a tension hidden behind the façade. Minimal form, once a symbol of transcendence from the physical world, has been recontextualised to serve different agendas: mass consumption, power, and control. By reworking discarded glass, the works draw attention to the connectedness of all matter and cyclical nature of perceived value.
