Home Grown Window Residency: Probably Cursed
by Vicky Roden
Stryx, Jewellery Quarter
Private View Saturday 31st August 1-3pm
Probably Cursed is a playful look at the notion of curses and the relationship we have with objects. Each piece begins with a found object which is then embellished literally and figuratively with it’s own mythology and ‘curse’ - an attribute relatable to the object which the owner may be affected by together with the probability of the curse happening.
Some objects make you wonder about the life they had before they met us. Vicky has long worked with found objects, in particular personal ephemera (such things as photographs,
obsolete coins and letters). These are the items that she always feels have started to develop their own personality.
