CONFETTI, 2023

 

The CONFETTI installation comprises of two artworks. The first, 1 MILLION TWENTY TIMES is made entirely from used National Lottery scratchcards collected from a single player. Approximately 100 of the bright orange cards were used to assemble this artwork; distorting the original image by cutting, collaging, and layering the pieces; creating a “blurred vision” of the original.

The second piece is a collection of shavings left behind after a card has been scratched - gathered in the last three years from found and donated cards.  The shavings have a foil-like quality and are an array of different colours, like confetti. Confetti itself symbolises a celebration, however in this setting, the work is in consideration of our shared partiality to hope, luck and chance.
