Blanket Conversions

Blanket Conversion I & II, 2019
Dimensions variable • Homeless emergency blanket made from recycled fibers, Shoddy
One man’s blanket is another man’s… The value of an object is esteemed by its possessor. Does an object’s worth endure with its conventional use regarded by its owner or increase as a newly adopted idle form that is generated? Will the viewer have a different opportunity to relate or identify with a converted blanket form if it is transformed from its original state?
Could translating an essential object demand a brief emotional connection to the blanket owner’s circumstances?
