Excipient: the Ordinary Jewels
Excipient: The Ordinary Jewels aims to expose and inform consumers of their passive consumption habits introduced by society, by using the pill and its packaging as symbolism. My paintings for this series include imagery of real and imaginary pills that are suggestive of what the average person consumes every day without realizing it. I've placed a heavy focus on textures of the gel pill, the smooth pressed tablet, the metal backing on blister packaging, and plastic coatings juxtaposed with their consumable element.
