Plastic packages, spray paint, flocking
29"h X 26'w X 2 3/4"d (entire installation)
Hundreds of clear blister packages are covered with fluorescent orange (can’t be reproduced in documentation) and texture. Surfaces transformed the objects are made useless and the utilitarian packages become opaque forms reminiscent of the minimalist cube. Unlike minimalism, this project utilizes the waste of mass production rather than the techniques and materials made possible by it. By this subversion the packaging—a detritus of consumer culture—masquerades as art, as minimalism.
