Frieze

These sculptures probably seem familiar because they were made by casting the empty spaces in plastic packages after the goods have been removed. There is a chocolate bunny, a computer mouse, a light globe, some toothbrushes, to name a few. They are covered with felt and places straight onto the wall so they suggest a frieze of wallpaper or perhaps hieroglyphs in a pyramid.

"Imagine that you were an archeologist in the future, digging up the remnants of the early 21st Century. These objects would tell you something about the way we live today: what we design, make, consume and throw away." - Julie Shiels.
