Worldly Signs · Social ornament
Objects in society
A room of social life. These studies ask what remains of the ascent once it passes through fashion, appetite, ornament, and public theater.
Curatorial Note
Worldly Signs takes the cantica into appetite and display. These objects feel more public, more dressed, and more willing to flirt with status, charm, and pleasure without abandoning the series' moral tension.
