"One Ton of Won Ton
Bowls"
'One Ton of Won Ton Bowls',
2002. Installation in studio; at St. Mary's University Art Gallery
(2003); Real Art Ways Gallery (2003); and Beaverbrook Art Gallery

Medium: Concrete, Chroma Key
Blue. 279 elements, each 23 cm dia. x 8.9 cm
'One Ton of Won Ton Bowls' investigates
the notion of an object that refers to but does not reproduce
or represent its source. It considers the trajectories of the
objects and how meanings and values are carried over or lost in
translations.
This work is a multiple cast
of a bowl whose design and use became simplified and generalised
over time. The surface treatment embraces Chinese cobalt glazes,
Yves Klein IKB, Anish Kapoor and the Chroma Key pigment of blue
screens that creates the empty space onto which something can
be projected.
