Tired, Caren Hartley
Silver
I am fascinated by the lives of familiar objects, especially those that are seemingly unremarkable or have fallen from favour. Through their rebirth, I explore how a parody of the original is created when material truths and untruths are interfered with. I select objects at a turning point in their lives and by subverting their identity I change their potential.
