Sculpture photographed in The White Chapel and Tate galleries

Sculptures photographed in the White Chapel Gallery, London, interesting composition focused both on robust materials such as metal and concrete, paired with more placid materials being plastic (possibly plastic bags) and what appears to be ribbon. Alongside the contract of materials there is an eye-catching pop of colour coming from the orange, amongst a fairly neutral setting, making it the potential focal point of the photograph.




The unusual, yet definite arrangement of these objects creates shape, angle and negative space, which may lead you to question a potential use for this sculpture as it is now acting as a part of the space in the Tate Britain.
The way these seemingly random objects have been painted and positioned within the context of the Tate, they have obtained a value that was previously not present.
This piece is interesting in terms of how value has been added to potential useless objects.


Following the previous piece, this sculpture also makes use of every day objects (more recognisable as every day items than in the last piece), possibly using the context of a museum, but also considered arrangement, matching of objects and aesthetics to add value to otherwise worthless items. This artwork fits very much into the idea of ‘Found objects’. “A found object is a natural or man-made object, or fragment of an object, that is found (or sometimes bought) by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it” much like the work of Ian Kiaer and Duchamp.

This piece also follows the ideas of assemblage; value being added to these usually overlooked objects such as a piece of rope or wood once being placed within the same environment.
