15 Minutes of Infamy


15 Minutes of Infamy
Bin, bells, linen thread, wood
36cm x 50cm x 84cm


Our perceptions and associations of objects are very hard to change - to my mind, a bin will always be largely a visual object - but for the short time where this piece is considered, its audible capabilities are highlighted. This is however inevitably to be short lived, as the next bin I see, I know I will be seeing it once again as having a chiefly visual existence. How open are we really to all of our senses working in harmony? And so the 15 minutes of infamy are over.
