Through his combination of materials and components, Petry encourages us to consider the relationship between objects, the contexts in which they are usually seen and the social aspirations that they symbolise. The silver-plated dish here was found in a second-hand market and was originally a mass-produced substitute for the more expensive solid silver version. By changing this inexpensive and unwanted object into a work of art, Petry has transformed it into a one-of-a-kind object it originally sought to mimic. -
