Found garden stakes, gouache, thread on paper

Placing an object into a new context can have a transformative impact: what was previously overlooked now becomes worthy of contemplation, a starting point for a visual meditation. Humble garden stakes extracted from the soil can acquire a hitherto hidden richness, as their anonymity fades away and their subtle contorted shapes are revealed and highlighted. The mass-produced and the ubiquitous become one-of-a-kind: everyday artifacts presented in a carefully considered manner. These are a labor of love: although the details are subtle and simple they must be carefully rendered. Each detail is important to the presentation of these foraged objects. I revel in their extraordinary uniqueness.
