Tool Box, Maria Militsi
Found tool box and punchers, silver, gold
The power of absence that makes us look, the dimension of the lack and the space left by a missing object are ideas that signify in my work. In an attempt to absorb what already exists rather than adding to the world, I collect objects that have suffered a loss; the loss of their owner or the loss of their function triggers a desire within me to complete them, to reassess their function and to fill their empty space with precious metals.
