Nina Saunders
May 2002
Materials: Lionella Pearl
Since the early nineties, Nina Saunders has conceived and produced
works arising out of the subversion of the everyday object. Usually
made from upholstery, her sculptures and installations form a kind
of trompe-l'oeil representation of domestic reality. Saunders distorts
utilitarian objects. She retrieves used furniture and transforms it
with her radical interventions and invests them with incongruous functions
with social or ideological import.
In the Softpan installation for Hygiene the ordinary implements used
to clean domestic space become fetish objects. Her work addresses
the routine obsessions of keeping spaces clean. Her work has been
exhibited widely.
