“Inherited and Borrowed”
Andie Tham
17 May → 8 June 2013
Andie Tham's Inherited and Borrowed involves the translation of existing and imagined objects into a series of new bronzes and paintings.
The sculptural works are cast from cardboard silhouettes that echo everyday table paced household effects. These forms are flanked alongside a series of paintings taken from reproductions of ancient vessels that, in execution, both depict and shroud the source image. Inherited and Borrowed marks my interest in tropes towards the representation of high and low forms of everyday objects. Andrea’s practice is concerned with images of “re-made, ready-made” objects through intensive process based methods.
Andie Tham is a Naarm/Melbourne based artist working across painting and sculpture, referencing objects from a historical and imaged utilitarian model.
