SAGE VAUGHN – NOBODY’S HOME
2014-02-03Featuring the birds and butterflies with which his work has come to be synonymous, the artist’s focus on wildlife is transformed into fresh settings, both material and metaphorical.
Vaughn explores the physical and abstract associations of the phrase Nobody’s Home through an examination of stale interiors and the vacancy with which society unquestioningly consumes objects and occasions of mass appeal. Beautifully executed birds permeate the lackluster domiciles dictated by interior designers and home and lifestyle magazines as the ultimate domestic dream, packaged for sale en masse as the height of ‘tasteful’ urban living. A coffee table and pile of books sit clinically where the birds, unknowingly interrupt the viewer’s expectation, bringing vibrant life and colour to their staid habitats.
Exhibition runs through to March 1st, 2014
