Candy Land: Marijon Spee
17 Oct 2009  - 13 Dec 2009

Candy Land: Marijon Spee
Tauranga based sculptor Marijon Spee’s works are materialisations of her thoughts in relation to issues such as illness, politics, dogma, war and in particular, consumerism. Through her sculptures, Spee explores how exploitation, artificiality and superficiality have become the realities of our modern existence.

Candy Land deals with the duplicitous nature of drugs and the insidious infiltration of consumerism, in a contemporary context. The installation uses the plastic and the playful as a medium for the serious and the real. Spee has created a ‘city’ of buildings made from plastic pillboxes, which symbolise the artificial and superficial Disneyland in which we live.

The work plays on what the viewer is familiar with by using ready-mades, or found objects, in a playful manner, encouraging them to engage with the representation of both the art and the issues Spee is addressing.
