Is art no more than a commodity in todays society? Balloon Dog is a appropriation of Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog (1994 – 2000). I have worked with sculpture, installation and video to explore the commodification of art, value and the art market. I have used inexpensive materials such as balloons and spray paint to juxtapose the unbreakable and intimidating sculpture of Koons’ Balloon Dog. The ephemerality of such materials allow the viewer to see the deflation over time, and reveal unique details within the surface.
Below is some previews of my work which will be installed on the 28th May 2016. To see more about my work in the degree show, view my blog on this website.
