A little bit of Mai-thu Perret and a little bit of myself
I mean, the Swiss artist Mai-thu Perret actually made this object, but I changed the colors a bit.
Quoting the Bonnefantenmuseum: Swiss-born Mai-Thu Perret (1976, Geneva) is an exceptional talent. While melancholy and satire are rarely absent from it, Perret’s work in particular also conveys a kind of down-to-earth optimism. In her sculptures and objects, she parodies the history of lofty ideals employing a matter-of-fact ‘I can do that too’ aesthetic. Conceptual thinking and the strategy of claiming existing images go hand in hand with craftsmanship and a belief in the magic effect of sculpture.
