Re-contextualisation

Self Portrait (head removed) & Relic of Middle Child's Hand by Stephen Moberly

 

Stephen Moberly

This piece was inspired by St. Theresa's arm. A 16th century relic which was cut off when her body was exhumed and put on display in a glass case for pilgrims to pay homage to. My interpretation refers to the parent-child relationship and in particular the misguided, over compensation in face of uncontrollable external influences that can, however well intended, lead to more harm than good.

Meta work by Mariya Garbacheva

I am currently exploring the idea of Abstract Art work being 'meta-work' (a work about that work that represents itself, the process of its creation or materiality, the convention of art, or the gallery where it's hung).

An object removed from the everyday and placed on display in a gallery or museum is transformed into potential artwork. I am interested in reversing this by placing 'artwork' outside of its gallery environment to interact with everyday objects.
