About The Artwork
"Midas" began as an abstract piece, with gold spray paint on a darker background. Materials such as aluminium foil and fabric cloth were overplayed on the paper. The piece transformed through the depiction of still-life observations of various objects in my home such as vases and wine glasses. The title "Midas" refers to the strong presence of gold as well as the notion of collecting objects, specifically antiquities and the pleasures of hoarding. A "treasure chest" is seen on the left-hand side, conveying a mystic air. This was originally a jewellery box I observed. Through allusions to luxury, the everyday home object is displaced and enters a fantastical realm.
