"Table for two"- reclaimed table, candlesticks, framed dust captures

"table for two"- reclaimed table, candlesticks, framed dust captures

This piece made use of a table found in the residency space. The framed works are of two table settings that have been created using dust on carpet taken from personal living space. The frames were then staged as a contemporary archive of a previous encounter or scenario.
I wanted a notion of monumentalism within this piece as it documents space whilst at the same time memorialising it. The traditional expectation of monumentalism is altered due mainly to the small scale of the work, however it is a monument as it imitates or supplements its origins.
