Dirty White Trash

I've always been iffy with installations, especially when they force a lot on the viewer that's open to interpretation. Maybe that's just the designer in me versus the 'artist' ... Which is why I really appreciated Tim Noble and Sue Webster fantastic shadow-play self portrait installations.

Noble and Webster use light in a creative way to put piles of rubbish into context fit with the title of each piece. Random fact- each pile of rubbish is really six months of the artists' rubbish. (not that means anything more than a possible aha moment.)

Dirty White Trash (With Gulls), 1998
