The Curated Junk Drawer

Everyone has that miscellaneous drawer which collects likeminded objects. Those that seem to have nowhere else to go. If you are someone who owns a junk drawer, have you ever found places for all the things only to find that it filling up again just as quickly?

‘The Curated Junk Drawer’ exhibited at the Cannery Arts Centre Art Room in May/June 2005. Elaine invited viewers to consider the concept with humour as she chose to playfully expose the chaotic with charm and fresh perspective. Works like ‘Junk Drawer the Romantic’ was a soft play on the aesthetic of the junk drawer, while ‘A Series of Driving Offences’ was a sculptural ‘dangerous vehicle’ through which a viewer might choose to play, whilst ‘landscape’ commented on a technocratic reality.
Look out for ‘The Curated Junk Drawer Part 2’ which is coming in 2027.
