About the Work:
The Iron Relic series is an artistic interpretation of our industrial heritage. It is somehow humorous that industrial objects created as recently as thirty years ago are now excavated, catalogued, studied, and exhibited as artifacts. These pieces of plastic cutlery double as enlarged, cast iron industrial artifacts. The series compares the Iron Age with the Plastic Age using a subtle nostalgia mitigated by sarcastic wit.
