all of the artists that I looked into seemed to have one thing in common, they tend to follow the object oriented ontology movement that went on. the OOO (object oriented ontology) is devoted to investigating the realities and privates lives of objects. I like the idea of looking at things the same way we look at other people. treating them like they are their own person with a soul and a background that’s yet to be discovered.
my first assemblage includes boxes tied together. I’ve had kept these box’s for a while now because I keep telling myself that one day they’ll be useful but that day hasn’t arrived, instead they take up space in my garage. I think this one fits into the idea of Object ontology, I’m connected to and see this trash as something worth saving despite it having no value.
the work on the left, I made that by putting random string, tape and a personal item (earphones) into a box and shaking it it really hard for 1 minutes. the result was a jumbled mess.
just like the boxes these are old bags that I refuse to throw out despite me not using them. this just represents the slow clump they’re turning into.
