I used to run everyday; my route was always scattered with intriguing items. Whenever something caught my eye, I’d stop to pick it up and stuff it into my pockets. If an item was too large, I’d drive back later to retrieve it. I can only imagine the disruption these lost items caused for their owners: a child’s soft toy leading to tears, a missing jigsaw piece causing frustration, or lost golf balls across the highway adding strokes to a player’s score. The car key I found must have caused quite a hassle; I hope the owner wasn’t late for work! Lost cutlery, money and tools, all these discoveries interrupted my running pace, breathing, and times.
An honest and bold work that is process led and conceptually anchored. Collage and assemblage is a successful strategy to consider the theme, as is the use of found, ‘lost’ items to build the piece. The colour is well thought out by using the black and white as a reference to the road, but also how this neutralises the context and tone of the objects. Intelligent composition of the ‘road’ that avoids becoming too literal and simultaneously creates a visual interruption of the surface.
Anna Moeba is a brush name. Art for Moeba is usually a personal journey reflecting on her past, her present, her future, and her personal experiences, observations in her environment, and emotional connections to people and place.
