Window Lashings

Window Lashings brings together second-hand fragments of decoration and ornament sourced from op shops, old building facades, design manuals, and online marketplaces. These found and handmade items form a disorganised archive of domestic tastes and practices of the recent past. Void of context and authorship, the decorative accumulations contemplate the enduring lure of the decorative, where even a faux vintage plate from an op shop can ignite stirrings of nostalgia. The second-hand shop window is a beacon of promise, with bric-a-brac items suspended between value and non-value, lingering in a state of potential.
