This work incorporates a dart board, a tapestry and texts that refer to traditional elements of landscape painting. Wybraniec's recent works are assemblages or collages of found images and objects, which depict landscape settings and scenes which are devoid of people. The artist's interest in film has led him to incorporate fragments of text into these works that can operate as closed captions. This work was created for the inaugural Perth Royal Show Prize, an art prize dedicated to the theme of landscape.
"My work has been an exploration into the game played/what happens/when objects and implied sounds are mixed up? How do they produce odd or amusing situations/engagements? In his book Reading Sounds, Sean Zdenek (2015, 2), writes; “Reading Sound develops a rhetorical sensitivity to the interaction among sounds, captions, contexts, constraints, writers and readers”; a description that resonates with my investigation of the relationships between closed captions, objects, materials and spatial interventions."
