Western culture has a history of collecting objects and artifacts from other cultures and times. These objects could often be humble or even fragments of other objects. These items are then often ordered and displayed for the viewer to image the culture or time the items come from. For almost 20 years I have collected objects that I have found on the street. It is the ephemera from our everyday life - consumer packaging, ambiguous fragments of larger objects, screwed up pieces of paper - anything that catches my eye. An object taken out of its context and presented as a two dimensional shape becomes strange and these forms are the basis of my paintings. This is a Photograph of my ordered collection of White found objects.

My work is concerned with the unnoticed ephemeral elements of everyday life; found objects, marks, stains and the natural effect of time. The objects I collect from the street form the basis of the work. The paintings are not abstract – they are based on something from the real world – for example a rubber band, a screwed up piece of paper, or a flap on a cardboard box. These are non-objects, just the remnants of life. An object taken out of its context and presented as a two dimensional form becomes ambiguous and works as a trigger to the imagination. The works are closer to objects than traditional paintings. If paint is used it is house hold paint that is poured, smeared and allowed to congeal and crack – like spilt paint on a pavement. In addition to paint I use found materials – wax, plaster, photographs, paper, discarded books and clothes. Working on wood allows me to attack the surface by scratching, sanding and stabbing. This adds to the works physical quality – like a collagraph printing plate or a religious icon. I take objects and elements from the real world, combine them together to create another object. The ordinary becomes unusual and other. www.jfkturner.com
