Daisies - For Andy Warhol

Nicole Taubinger

2017

Plexiglas and bottom of pet bottle are of recycled plastic, brooch back mechanism Plexiglas and stainless steel needle

The series of Daisies I created, of which I am sending you one example, is a homage to Andy Warhol, and his Daisies. I work primarily with plastic waste, with objects of every day use which are so close to us that we do not longer notice them. I set them into a new context to make them visible again, and to refer to a number of paradoxes in society. In this work I have used the bottom of the pet bottle, one of our greatest polymer contaminator of daily use, as our today´s Daisie. To the kind of Daisie that has become the Pop Culture of today.
