Artwork Concept
This is one of the work in the series “Assemblages“ which presents shards of present day life for examination.
An “assemblage” is an archaeological term meaning a group of different artifacts found in association with one another, that is, in the same context.
The pieces that make up this series were created by collecting discarded materials reminiscent of a particular point in time and space and encasing them in cement which is subsequently broken to reveal these bits of day-to-day life. One assemblage collects the pieces of an experience and organizing and classifying them offers the viewer a glance into and maybe an understanding of it. Photographic images of the spaces referenced in the assemblages are combined with references to archaeological imagery. The pieces are presented in a gridded structure, an attempt at ordering otherwise disparate and temporally and spatially remote experiences. This is one of the work in the series.
