This use of painted cling film is just one way I am representing the transformation of an ordinary of mundane object into an extra ordinary object. The way the sculpture depicts an arm and not an entire jacket relates back to Joel Morrison's work who also takes every day objects and casts them to ameliorate their existence.
The fact a jacket, in itself is a simple object that people can relate to makes this work more convincing. It relates back to A.K burns work who I was inspired by at Frieze fair this year, his work used the forms of labours clothing to connect this idea of simplicity and humbleness about the form before juxtaposing it and casting it in metal.
