Materials and Production Methods
Fiona Hall:
Fiona Hall's "Medicine bundle for the non-born child 1993-94" is an enchanting baby's layette made from recycled Coca-Cola cans. The tiny garments are knitted from strips of aluminum drink cans. Fiona Hall's layette is constructed from an interweaving of different and conflicting narratives and histories about the desire for consumer goods. Fiona's work explores the future of the worlds children.
Rosalie Gascoigne:
Rosalie Gascoigne's "Ensign, 1995" is a retro- reflective road sign on craft board. Gascoigne said that her art- making materials "need to have been open to the weather". Therefore she mostly used materials she found, in this case yellow and orange retro- reflective road signs which flash and glow in the light. Rosalie cut up and re-arranged the faded, naive lettering found on the item to create this abstract yet evocative grids of letters and word fragments.
