Ece Bayram’s playful and delightfully inventive sculptures present a world of contrasts by exploring the tangibility of materials within everyday settings. Organic stands alongside geometric - shown through the winding tagliatelle placed against the crisp architectural quality of the stands; the everyday and the luxurious – white tiles vie for attention amid lavish designer shoes. Through these contrasts, Bayram investigates themes of desire and materiality – but all with a refreshing sense of humour, and shrewd attention to quality and detail.
The practicality and the initial purpose of familiar objects are disrupted to transform them into materials to create unfamiliar scenarios which play with push and pull of desire, the interchange of real images and constructed images, the pristine and the abject.
