???? ?Hoopla?

Kara Burrowes – ?2018

Hoopla looks to de-construct and transform items from the urban landscape, while questioning the importance and relevance of them. Disused layers of posters from obscure parts of the urban environment and discarded advertising billboards are extricated and reworked into another object, almost unrecognisable from their humble beginnings. The resulting pieces are playful, colourful and frivolous while maintaining structure and pattern, making a mockery of the consumerist material of their beginnings. The work is at once both abstract and familiar.
