Artist of the WeekJenny Cooper”An artist is like an alchemist, he can turn worthless things into gold.”James Putnam, paper presented at Provenance Symposium, October 2010.I aim to uncover the un-noticed, ignored and valueless. My practice is concerned with forcing the viewer to look and notice in different ways.An object or a moment can be transformed when highlighted and given significance. I often use lighting or projection to paint objects in a fresh light, authenticating the things I select in the way that they are collated and presented. I frequently set parameters for the activity of collecting, and the assembled groups of ‘worthless’ objects take on dynamic new forms and meanings through installations, drawings and projections.<
