Emmica Lore’s sculptures use kitsch and absurdism to poke fun at systems that govern behaviour and taste. bunny & clam explores how status is a moving target – historical, social, and absurd. We see items whose meanings have slipped over time from high-to-low, low-to-high, and sometimes back again. Through hand-pinned sequins and foil-covered surfaces, Emmica also elevates materials often associated with disposability and craft. bunny & clam sits in a deliberately gaudy space, somewhere between sincerity and irony. Imitation becomes a form of disobedience, disrupting the authority of ‘good taste’.
