About the Artwork

This building bag/used cement bag visually demonstrates the importance and value of building bags as an object. The cement bag was worked with on the building site, and then discarded and thrown away in the skip. This is something that happens frequently when working on the job. I want to challenge this kind of wasteful behaviour as an artist, by testing the possibilities of something that is so typically thrown away without thinking. For example, I put this bag through several experimental processes to see how interesting, intriguing, and exciting a building bag could become.
