A recent project involved using a found object as the basis for a work or series of works. I selected a disposable plastic tea spoon from a domestic flight. Interestingly, the NGV features an ivory spoon of a similar shape in its Egyptian collection. Below are images of the Egyptian spoon (photos and a drawing), the sculpture I made from the contemporary spoon/s (inspired by Joseph Cornell and his shadow boxes) and three sets of monotypes (original and ghost print) based on the sculpture and other found objects.
