Something shimmers, something is hushed up
Preview Tuesday 1 April 5.30pm

Lance Pearce’s practice is concerned with the imaginative repurposing of everyday objects. While most often objects serve rote activity, Pearce’s art suspends the habitual as functional things become sculptural form. Some of his vworks appear to allegorise time: a row of tilted paper sheets threatens to slip, and an altered candle contains two embedded wicks. Other works disturb objects’ semantic identities: a drinking tumbler nestles inside a hollowed-out block of butter, and a suite of display cabinets is put on display. Through carefully altering familiar things, Pearce shows how concepts and objects, materials and purposes can both confirm and confuse our common sense world.
