Artist Statement |
"Art ownership can be seen as being a bit like having a trophy cabinet. The art object separates itself from high end luxury goods by having no utilitarian use yet by some, is frequently equated with luxury goods, particularly if it is perceived as being purely "decorative" art, which is a weird contradiction.
A trophy, by its nature, implies some sort of competitive process to possess it and says something about the standards of performance or achievements by the owner at some point in time.
Art ownership can also say something about the owner in a private collection context which would ideally go well beyond a display of wealth, i.e. it would imply a certain level of connoisseurship or taste.
Not everyone collects art, but most people collect something and all of us assign values to objects which often have little to do with their intrinsic worth or investment value. Some folk change the context and appearance of their treasures for example having babies first shoes electroplated in copper or framing family heirlooms." |
