Smoking Bin, 2024
Acrylic on approx. 18x18mm tile.
Includes signed certificate of authenticity.
A bin on a night out in Mong Kok. Ignored, it smokes silently, not attracting attention despite wearing orange.
—
Discarded tiles wash up on Hong Kong’s beaches. Their former glory of house decoration and protection is now a lightly buffed memory. They are alone now, gently washed with the current. Little fossils of recent community, found and repurposed as canvas. Secret souvenirs holding current* Hong Kong scenes.
*At time of painting.
