This body of work called Aladdin is based on collections of different coloured glassware found in flea markets, car boot sales and junk shops. The groupings of glassware although different in shape, texture and function are united by their respective colour. At present there are four separate collections : amber, green, purple and clear, each differing in size reflecting the relative quantities of objects found.
The collections are housed in lightbox vitrines resembling museum showcases, which would normally be used to display artefacts but here actually function as floor lights. When illuminated the glassware magically glows like jewels. Although the glassware is presented in a precious way giving the objects a treasure like appearance, all that glitters is not gold.
Black sprayed MDF lightbox. Clear glass covers.The colour of glassware available is PURPLE, CLEAR, AMBER, GREEN, RED, BLUE, GREEN/BLUE AND ROSE.
