Boots

The simple shape and pleasing variation of these ten pairs of ceramic boots invites various associations – from the craft tradition to figurative sculpture to cartoons.  The mode of display equally evokes the retail space of a shoe store and the presentation of relics and fine artworks within a museum. Here is an example of Shrigley finding absurdity and humour within the everyday and inviting multiple interpretations of his work.
