Ouroboros
Ouroboros - Acrylic, found bottlecaps, plywood, nails, NZ$16000 €8000
Ouroboros comprises a few thousand squashed bottle caps from streets all over the world nailed to intersecting wooden lemniscates.
Discarded flattened bottle-caps like tumbled rocks are anonymously worn down to become smooth-edged.
The ubiquitous pre-flattened caps are a forgotten symbol of convenience.
These once useful objects are tossed aside, forgotten, crushed and modified, then found.
Ouroboros' painted substrate deliberately studded with coloured spots corresponds to our minds.
This designed element is partially eclipsed by a veneer of 'unconscious process' portrayed by bottlecaps secured to the foundation with painted nails.
A sandwich of intentional front and back layers captures the abandoned interior.
A film of popular amnesia becomes pierced through thus re-engaged with sentient principles of internal/external experience.
