Best Before presents a series of large-scale sculptural reproductions of everyday objects designed for brief utility, including bread clips, price tags, queue tickets, and matchsticks.
Enlarged and recreated in permanent materials, the works preserve objects that were never intended to last.
Though modest in scale and function, these objects quietly shape the routines and systems of everyday life. Price tags structure value and exchange, queue tickets organise temporary social order, while others exist as small tools of efficiency, safety, and convenience. Manufactured in vast quantities, they briefly intersect with individual lives before falling out of circulation.
Through scale, material and preservation, Best Before transforms these disposable forms into sculptural relics, drawing attention to the unexpected dignity, clarity, and significance embedded within ordinary objects.
