Object of Affection explores the idea of sculpture as proposition, by looking at material driven practices that exemplify a kind of curiosity about their own making. While in dialogue with issues and trends in design and consumer culture, the works in this group exhibition complicate the hierarchy of the end product to achieve more ambiguous motives. The domestic and the everyday act as springboards for material inspiration, while also being at odds with the uncanny
nature of objects caught between time and place. Challenging the ability for an object to ever be separated from its context and mode of production, the artist is implicated in this process, and in the continual production of objects, their histories, and falsifications.
