Novelty Items
Instead of using language and forms of the art world, Novelty Items borrows from consumer culture. Sometimes this work proposes a solution to an imaginary problem with failing marketing: no one will want to buy it. Sometimes it abstracts the needs of a particular market: no one will find use for the product.
The work provides very mild entertainment. Maybe even a chuckle. And to those with art-literacy, it can become a serious art world critique.
