Untitled. Mixed Media Installation. 2010
Installation consisting of five sculptures and two drawings of blue
tape. The sculptures are constructed within the tradition of combines
and the various 'unmonumental' works of recent history. Interspersed
within the constructions are handmade containers (a Chipotle Mexican
Grill to go cup, a Starbucks cup). The containers are produced by
reproducing the cup graphics with graphite and colored pencil on
heavyweight watercolor paper. The paper is then folded into the shape
of the cup and sealed on the seam with archival double sided tape thus making an object nearly indistinguishable from its original reference
point. The Amazon.com box sculpture is attached to the wall with hot
glue and has a hand drawn piece of blue painter's tape that appears to
hold it aloft. In addition, there are two drawings of blue tape, one
located high on the center wall and one located on a power outlet.
Lastly, there is a handmade chunk of cardboard leaning against the back
wall.
