"BEAN STALK I" Bean Stalk I is a collaborative piece by Jette Rasmussen and Belinda Thomas playfully commenting on life’s excesses, missed opportunities and futile potential.
The inspiration for this work is rooted in the title of the exhibition, You’ve Got Everything Now, and our direct response to the architectural features of the location. The staircase symbolises a possible path filled with latent opportunity. In this work one sees the juxtaposition of the practical form of the staircase with the obvious absence of function in this suspended sculpture.
The beans are a nod to the excesses of life, and a commentary on life in a society focused on consumerism and goal-driven activities without contemplating the outcome and the truly important matters in life.
