Cake Boxes
Photo Sculptures, 2001-2004, mixed media, variable dimensions. This body of works comprehends the following photographic series: After Dinner Boxes; Eye Sculptures; Nude Furniture; Cake Boxes; Time Pieces; Desired Objects and Wearable Body Parts.
In Photo Sculptures I highlight the mundane and its hidden beauty and irony applying photographs to common domestic objects in order to create 3-dimensional photo-sculptural artworks.
I let the objects themselves dictate scenarios, and I shot photographs specific to the objects that would display them. The intent is to give the object an inner story, in a way producing its fictional history or personality.
To help achieve their dreamlike glow I carefully tone my prints with tea or gold. I design my own objects and assemblies and to bring my concepts to life I often use the assistance of a fabricator, jeweler or carpenter.
