“Inherited and Borrowed”
Andie Tham
17 May → 8 June 2013

The works for Inherited and Borrowed involve the translation of existing and imagined objects into a series of new bronzes and paintings. The sculptural works are cast from cardboard silhouettes that echo everyday table paced household effects. These forms are flanked alongside a series of paintings taken from reproductions of ancient vessels that, in execution, both depict and shroud the source image. Inherited and Borrowed marks my interest in tropes towards the representation of high and low forms of everyday objects. Andrea’s practice is concerned with images of “re-made, ready-made” objects through intensive process based methods.

Andie Tham is a Melbourne based artist that works across both painting and scultpural forms. Tham’s work deals with referencing objects from a historical and imaged utilitarian model. Tham graduated for VCA and has recently held a solo exhibition at TCB in 2012, and been part of various group shows at galleries such as Seventh Gallery, BUS Projects, RMIT Gallery and Joint Hassles. Tham is currently completing her Honors at RMIT.
