Mixed media installation-sculpture - metal, electrical wires and cables, posters and flyers
2 m x 1,3 m x 1,58 m

Description:
In this mixed media installation a typical inner-city scene, that of an abandoned power-box covered in illegal wheat-paste posters, is re-imagined as feminine, beautiful and life-giving. Found posters and flyers that promise 'safe and pain-free abortions' and 'penis enlargements' are folded into flowers, thereby transforming, reclaiming and 're-birthing' the scene of decay.
