The shovel

Year 2015 Medium Object (shovel, ecoleather) Dimensions 120 x 20 x 15 cm

A shovel as a tool allows you to dig or move retrieved powdery material. Shovel as an object of art allows one to gaze upon and touch. An object coated with skin loses its useful role in favor of aesthetic fetish. The shovel remains exposed for adoration, and everything around shall be its encasement.

Realized thanks to the City of Toruń Scholarship in the Field of Culture.
