Flora Parker

The work aims to materialize the notion that everything is not as it seems.

Questioning the way we assign cultural and sentimental value to objects/works of art and even people and ultimately the social constructs’ that control the way we are influenced to do so.  This is achieved by juxtaposing images and disarmingly honest text placed on such images.

Reinterpreting objects and art from the past through a new gnarled, cynical viewpoint.

Using ready-mades that are symbolic of domestic life and security are emptied of their sentimental meaning through intervention.


The intervention into these images/objects through collage, excision, reconfiguration, removal or application can be seen hint at a dark and macabre reality in which these objects exists: image and perception alike are questioned, rearranged and opened to new possibilities.
