Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of a work installed in a gallery space. There is a tall column of stacked books that extend beyond the bottom and top edges of the frame. The column has fake flowers coming out of the stack, some scattered in between the column and some lining the corner edges. Also coming out of the stack are red incense sticks with strips of orange paper attached to the tips, scattered in between the stack. At the bottom of the column, there are copper crutches, standing upright adjacent to the column with objects attached to them. There are clusters of colourful fake paper flowers affixed to the crutches. On the left side of the image, balanced on top of a couple of crutches is a large octagonal glass cylinder laid sideways with red, yellow, blue and silver bands around the left half. In the bottom right corner, there is a copper wavy-edged floating panel attached to the column, held up by two crutches, with patches of silver and copper shapes affixed to the surface. There are more clusters of colourful fake flowers sitting on top of this platform as well as a stack of books.Description
