Angela Presnail
Handle with Care
"The main thematic focus of my work deals with questions of identity and the way representation legislates and defines us all."
"In creating the people boxes I became concerned with the implied treatment of people as objects. The work considers identity as something that you shop for that is mirrored in the continual acquisition of new garments. Are we the never completed sum of our identifications? I like to use cardboard because it incorporates life and culture in its most basic sense and reflects the disposability of modern life."
Functional domestic storage born from basic packaging solutions, each box is individual and hand painted.
Dimensions: 45cm (17 3/4in) x 51cm (20in) x 125cm (49 1/4in)
