We recently invited artists to reinterpret the most ordinary, everyday objects in fresh, creative ways. The resulting group exhibition, Objects of the Everyday, explores how the items that surround us - often overlooked, taken for granted, or dismissed as mundane - can become sources of inspiration, wonder and reflection when seen through an artistic lens.
Exploring the intimacy of the mundane - the objects we touch daily that quietly shape routines and the poetry of the useful - tools and utensils that carry both function and hidden symbolism - as well as the beauty in what we overlook - a chair, a teacup, a pair of worn shoes, or the shadow of a lamp, transformed into subjects of meaning and imagination.
We received over 200 entries and have narrowed it down to a show of work by 22 artists from around the region, ranging from abstract interpretations or figurative works. By gathering these perspectives, these artists help to highlight the extraordinary within the ordinary and invite viewers to see their surroundings anew.
