Objects for Objects is a collection of works exploring themes of utility and exchange within a global economy. Patterns, materials and forms sourced from mundane objects are fragmented, abstracted and re-imagined to create sculptures that reflect a visual landscape familiar to and distant from the vernacular of the everyday.

The regal setting of The Viilla Terrace begs for pomp. The classical details of the gallery such as the exquisite ornamental ceiling, windows and green marble mantel interact with the displayed works imposing a heightened sense of grandeur. Works in Objects for Objects, particularly Commemoration of Occasion, use a formal language similar to both the decorative arts and kitsch, the mass-produced, and the mundane. The tension between the perceived quality and authenticity of a decorative past and a mass-produced, commodified present are negotiated in this narrated exhibition.
