found objects - animal bone, feather, shell, pebble, silver plated
A series of found objects, electro-plated with silver.
Strongly associated with photography, silver is an essential element in the analogue image-making process. It is also associated with healing.
The electro-plating process smooths out some of the fissures, the inconsistencies in the surface of the object, abstracting its form, and conferring a different kind of value onto an otherwise valueless, yet treasured thing.
