The
private world of Victorian parlors, the pursuit of comfort, the subtle
disturbances all lead to uncanny furniture like objects. Binary
oppositions meet in a conflicting situation, neither winning. Expectations
and familiarity of the objects functions are not fulfilled.
The Victorian parlor was a place where the public were entertained. It
was here that the most opulent and luscious displays of taste, morals and
social class were proclaimed.
The works are realistic nostalgic replicas. They are made of modern, non-traditional
materials, emphasizing the facade like nature of the Victorian era. |
