Ode to

The image of the tin can with a gramophone winding handle seemed to sum up Fluxus ideals, an interest in function of object and sound fairly succinctly, so I decided to experiment with some other everyday objects. Not sure if a book is the right form of display - I prefer works to stay temporary. This, alongside "Audible Inventions", another publication are the only works i've made that are still in existence.

Highlighting and injecting the everyday object with more value as an art object, I equally desire to remove that status as soon as possible afterwards - anything beyond feels self indulgent. If longevity is not a part of the concept of the piece, why keep it?
