curious cabinet of middle class delights




 
this piece is named the curious cabinet of middle class delights. it is a collection of found objects placed together in a display cabinet to explore concepts behind the middle classes. I was trying to communicate an idea of putting on a front or charade in order to keep up appearances. I was playing with stereotypes surrounding house wives and what is seen as the perfect family.
some of the jars are filled with things such as buttons and threads and family games but there are also hidden objects in the jars such as cigarette packets and cigarette ends but also things such as tampons and broken ornaments.
