Yesterday People’s Tomorrow’s King
Found Metro Newspapers, Glue, Labour
2021
Hand fabricated from tens of thousands of individual sheets of compressed and glued Metro newspapers, this skeletal replica of a Louis XVI chair explores ideas of how narrative past hierarchical events become circular in contemporary media, politics and place.
This sculpture is a 1 to 1 replica of an actual Louis XVI chair from the Louvre entirely made up of contemporary news cycle "rags".
