    Ubiquitous object, ambivalent things
    Shiels, Julie-Anne ( 2015)
    Building on the legacies of the readymade, this practice led research investigated contemporary art strategies for re-contextualising and abstracting waste to create original artworks. Working forward from the discarded packaging of objects and using the space left behind by the act of consumption, the investigation created, through the indexical processes of casting and imprinting, simultaneously abstracted and distanced art objects. This tactic re-framed the ‘eco-polemic’ of waste — inviting instead poetic reflections on the temporality, materiality and mutability of discarded goods.
