Wreckers Artspace

We are starting to press up against the material limitations of linear economies. Physical waste, some of it created from matter that will long outlive generations of human life, is returning to haunt us. Cultural waste — when beheld, reapproriated, celebrated — is sometimes called ‘camp’.

These paintings reflect the strange and imperfect construction of categories that try (and fail) to contain waste, to abstract it, and to keep it out of sight, out of mind. Starting with discarded soft plastic, a process of imprinting and layering has produced a profusion of ambiguous forms, colours, and shapes that vie for attention. Playfully embracing excess and failure, they point to the frightening material traces that we leave on the world around us, and in turn, how non-human matter inevitably touches us.

Accompanying text by Briohny Walker.
