Jess Flood-Paddock’s work seeks to expose the emotional dimensions of inert objects and what they reveal about human interaction. With forays into processes such as photography, video, scenic painting and ceramics, her works are sometimes produced using humble materials such as plywood, plaster, paper and cloth. She creates oversized but decidedly un-monumental versions of everyday objects, which can disturb the references that ground us in the everyday and rock our expectations of material reality. Snacks 4 (2011) is from a series of works related to wasabi peanuts and is made of plaster, canvas and acrylic paint.
