Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of a work installed on the cement floors and white walls of a gallery space taken from above the work angled downwards. On the floor, there is an assortment of tropical fruits arranged in one large cluster with colourful paperclips outlining the shape. In the middle of the cluster, there is a mound of white items that are obscured by a motion blur effect, possibly due to being taken during a movement, with a golden spherical object in the centre of it. To the right of this, there is a gold offerings pedestal tray raised off the ground, perched on the top of a light blue pedestal stand. The tray contains items with colourful packaging and wrappers, presumably candy or packaged snacks with a red apple in the middle. Laid on the ground to the left of the fruits, there are two clusters of metallic, iridescent paper squares with thin wooden sticks coming out of them. Right behind this, mounted on the wall is a tall rectangular work, going beyond the top edge of the frame, consisting of images of stacked books with silver tape on top that creates a grid and borders the work. There are colourful fake flowers and green leaves arranged in single rows and columns following the silver tape grid. There are colourful sticky notes and tabs affixed all over the piece, some with writings on them.Description
