Wunderkammer

Cassandra Hard Lawrie and Philip Spark share a fascination with objects, building upon the tradition of Wunderkammer, where objects were displayed according to the whim of the collector. By presenting objects that are fragmented and obscure they intend to draw on the capacity of the artefact to incite wonder as it represents that which is otherworldly and not tempo centric.

Both artists within their respective sculptural installations utilise scrap material suggesting the journey of things from usefulness, to discarded rubbish through to the revival of an object as a semaphore.
