Concrete as Canvas: Ephemeral Objects

This project responds to the surfaces we walk on and by, day after day, in our urban environments. Here insistently we confront concrete. A durable yet impermanent material made from a plain but varied mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water, which despite its relatively mundane set of compositional elements, produces an infinite variety of colours, tones and textures that can be seen routinely by any eye that takes the time to linger. Set momentarily on this concrete canvas is a procession of misplaced objects which, if they avoid being ignored outright, are unlikely to be seen as they could be. These objects pose on the concrete slabs exhibiting, for the briefest of moments, an impression of what they were and are...and then they disappear. This liaison between concrete and object, framed and frozen, reveals an association that may speak to us, the indifferent passers-by.
