FIERY RED, ORANGE and yellow hues blaze across the exhibition space at Think City. Panels of what seem to be woven fabric cascade from ceiling to floor, intersecting like flames suspended in mid-air. Every inch of the tapestry is interesting if you look closely enough. You recognise the ubiquitous logos of large corporations on plastic bags, tinsel garlands sparkling in between fertiliser sacks and bubble wrap, the crystal head of a landline cable poking out unexpectedly.
Visitors weave between the tapestries, their curious fingers brushing, gently squeezing and exploring the various textures of the artwork. Unlike most art pieces, this one invites touch.
“Everything is made from trash,” the artist explains. “So I don’t have to worry about fingerprints or anything like that.”
