product dissections, part 1
An ongoing exploration of the roles of art, artifact, taxonomy, the consumer, the museum and institution, product and marketing, and our relationships with seemingly insignificant objects and materials that affect us daily. It is an autopsied re-presentation of an artifact of our marketed culture of need. While peeling back the skins of consumerism offers a revealed view within the plastic layers of what we consume, there is delicate tension between death, health, and hygiene collided with with bold, impractical, purposeless extremeties of marketing. I continue to explore our understanding of the roles of nature and the unnatural in our environment, and the inherent beauty, humor, and horror that lies within them.
