| Summary | Assembly Required is a narrative-driven project using found objects to explore themes of imagination, community, impermanence, and reinvention. The artworks encapsulated within this research are fabricated almost entirely using waste-materials: rusted metallic oddities, mildewed comic books, and found images. An alternate future is imagined using the materials of yesterday. This is a found-future setting which celebrates a scrappiness and ingenuity in people to think our way out of the impossible. I illustrate how all things exist in a cultural cycle of rising and falling value - and reflect on people's ability to enact alchemical exchange upon these material meanings to fabricate exquisite, new realities. |
