The Containment series seeks to reinvestigate the boundaries between “container” and “contained” by examining the interactions and reactions of industrial and agricultural materials. The works within this series mingle plastic – usually the outer skin of a container – with the more “organic” contents within, such as flour or corn meal. Through this process, the “artificial” materials become fused with the “natural” in such a way as to make the two inseparable and indistinguishable; a blending which has already become a conventional part of contemporary farming practices. These works employ the simple forms of bags and sacks – the basic means of food transportation and display worldwide – to explore the intertwined nature of modern agriculture and industry.
