About The Artwork
Artist Lucy Wheeler researches the interrelationships between objects and cultural phenomena using object-oriented ontology’s school of thought. The things in question can exist in many forms and often appear in a scale that can’t all be perceived by human perception. They can only be partially noticed as they exist in a larger scale that we can’t comprehend. It is this partial notice that can be manipulated; the selected objects begin to possess different values, or begin to resemble and appropriate other myriad of forms. These multifaceted objects are delegated to the status of a ‘hyper object.’
These relations and appearances are not meant to be understood, but discovered. Assembling the fragments these ‘hyper objects’ present, produce a phenomena that is familiar but new.
