CRYPTO FOMO, tender issues Painting

It began with a bathroom renovation. The mirror was to be smashed for landfill, which seemed like bad luck. Instead I painted it: art is often, a reflective experience... Beside the painted mirror is its mirror image, a reproduction printed, on paper then touched up with ‘white out correction pen’. The elements are set beside one another, in resin on board, drawn with symbols and figures and dots all repeated within a reference of pattern. Pineapples were once as valuable as bitcoin is today (and are responsible for the invention of glass house growing rooms that were heated with manure). Pineapple is slang for an Australian $50 note, which was a large part of the inspiration for the colour and composition of this work. Currency has evolved with the ever increasing complexity and speed of reproduction: barter and exchange, gold bullion, promissory notes, fiat systems, blockchains and NFTs: the value these things hold is not inherent, it’s the value we tacitly agree to accord them. Give a man a fish, or teach the man to fish… seem somewhat binary and questionable options in the current state of play. If we don’t first acknowledge the truth of how we came to be where we are, where we have come from will continue to dictate where we are heading. I Fear Of Missing Out.
