Vanessa Maltese | Ornament Swatch



Vanessa Maltese
Ornament Swatch
Toronto, Canada: Nothing Else Press, 2014
18.2 x 6 x 4 cm (closed), 1.8 x 4 x 55.5 cm (extended)
Acrylic on wood, hinges
Edition of 15 signed and numbered copies
$550.00 CDN

Drawing on motifs that have cycled through her recent body of work, Maltese likens this hinged sculptural edition to “samples you might flip through if you were interested in ginger-breading the roof of your house or something. It’s reminiscent of a kids toy, which I am into, as it is a rather useless object at the end of the day."
