Significant Objects

ARTIST STATEMENT

I started Obsessive Consumption in 2002, when I decided to photograph all of my purchases and, in turn, created a brand out of the process to package and promote. I am currently drawing something I purchase every day, happily illustrating for others, teaching design to college kids and making piles of work—zines! pillows! photographs! buttons! more drawings!—that mock/celebrate our relationship to consumer goods.

Significant Objects is a quasi-anthropological experiment analyzing how inanimate objects become significant via narrative—and it’s also turned into a literary journal secretly published on eBay. Most recently, it has become a fundraising outfit for good causes. Proceeds from v.3 benefit Girls Write Now.

These prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a matte finish.

Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists’ originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.

We recommend a custom frame in black solid wood with UV protected plexiglass and a white archival mat. Please note: Framed art may take up to 4 weeks to ship. Available for U.S. orders only.
