Description
Trashbags (Maquette), 2008.
This is a 1:4 scale maquette of Trashbags, a marble-carved version at life-size.
Plaster A/P version in the collection of the Robert Hull Fleming Museum, Burlington, VT.
Marble version exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park, NYC, The Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield, CT. Currently in the collection of James F. Dicke.
“In Trashbags, Fisk has meticulously carved a life-size pile of seven heavy-duty twist-tie trash bags out of a single piece of black marble. The sculpture functions as a trompe l’oeil object, startling the viewer by appearing to be a pile of waste placed in the pristine setting of an art gallery or museum.
By imagining refuse as immutable, Fisk asks us to reconsider issues of permanence with respect to human consumption. Does our planet's waste ever really go away, or is it with us for eternity?”
