Creative Access Description
A colour portrait image of elaborate works installed in a gallery space with a glass window wall at the back, white walls and cement floors. At the back of the space, there is a 16-foot-high column of books stacked on top of each other with fake flowers coming out of the stack, some scattered in between the stacks, some lining the corner edges, and some sticking out at the top. At the bottom of the column, there are more stacked books with white paper flowers laid around and on top of them. There are also copper crutches positioned upright surrounding the column with clusters of colourful fake paper flowers affixed to them. The window wall behind the column is covered with brown patterned paper. To the left of the column there are fruit arrangements on the floor and on the wall behind it there are fake flower arrangements scaling up the wall reaching the same height as the column. On the floor, in front of the camera, there is an arrangement of objects sitting on top of a mirror on the floor with objects including white ceramic bowls and cups, champagne glasses, and a flower bouquet in a glass vase. There are many items surrounding the arrangement including black and white puzzle pieces arranged into words, trailing around the arrangement and towards the column at the back.Description
