Artist Concept:
In "Whoops", I aim to highlight the complex relationship between self-perception and societal expectations. The mirror, often a symbol of self-reflection, becomes a canvas for the broken remnants of beauty products, representing the internal and external damage caused by the relentless pursuit of an idealised appearance. This piece challenges the viewer to consider the broader implications of our beauty standards, questioning to what end we strive for perfection and at what environmental cost. By confronting these issues, I hope to inspire a more mindful and sustainable approach to beauty and self-worth.
Junk and Disorderly Disclaimer:
I am in the business of Junk, old unused items people are going to throw away. My joy as a recreator is to wave my magic shiny wand and transform them into something I am proud to send out my door. It must be said though, that there is nothing perfect in the old (sorry mum) - if you look closely, you are going to find rust, scratches or the odd ugly backside as I endeavour to do my best in a sustainable way. With upcycling, must come the understanding that these come to you flawed. like the sediment in an old wine, or a tarnished old coin from years ago. Enjoy the old and celebrate our flaws, old or new! Thanks MSM.
Note: Please be advised that my range of upcycled wall sculptures can be quite heavy. It is essential that they are hung correctly, on a suitable weight-bearing location of your wall, specifically on the stud line. All my artworks have been previously hung in-house for over 72 hours to ensure their ability to bear weight properly. Shipping of my heavier sculptures is available upon application.
My Shiny Perspective:
Whoops was right in the thick of my exploration into nail polish and using old bottles as a painting medium. I won't tell you my tricks to create the impression of accidental spillage (unless you buy this or one of the amazing art prints!), but I love the effect—the way the light bounces off the colours and textures beautifully. Great in a bathroom so you can preen and enjoy this piece at the same time. Like a good indoor plant, this piece enjoys full sun and direct sunlight!
