"Some of the most fashionable new furniture isn't new at all - its's salvaged from tips and skips by craftspeople who combine high design with street-level scavenging" - Jill Macnair, I Daily.
The work shown here is one example the work by Rupert Blanchard. This demonstrates perfectly how the art of collage is not just a table top subject. In an age of green conciousness and eco-friendly Blanchard reveals encompasses this feel perfectly, but at the same time there is an air of ambiguity surrounding each piece. A collage can become an amalgamation of things of representation and order combined to create something ambiguous and mysterious; however, this work goes one step further, taking things from order and value, to a skip or tip where it has become disregarded, a three dimensional collage of life, then brought back again to this world of of order where it is generated under a new context a new manner of existence.
