About
Abandoned Possession
Versailles palace and grounds in France are lavish and over the top, with gold everywhere. Over the centuries small little and forgotten items are abandoned and go astray.
Subject
My ideas are deeply rooted in the opulence and grandeur of the Versailles palace and grounds in France, where gold is ubiquitous and excess is celebrated. Through my Versailles series, I explore the concept of discarded and overlooked objects that have been lost amidst the extravagance of Versailles over the centuries. Working within vintage cigar tins, utilizing them as a metaphor for the forgotten items scattered throughout the palace. The first layer consists of vintage rusted tin , which serve as a nostalgic and reflective starting point and invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between extravagance and neglect, and the subtle beauty that can be found even within the smallest of abandoned treasures.
Med. Shibori indigo & rust dyed, vintage handmade crochet, antique Victorian silk covered buttons, antique French filigree gold buckle, rusted fence wire from outback Australia, vintage cigar tin.
Size W12cm. x H10cm. x D2cm.
