Harry Bonar Law<\/h1>\n

BA Art and Design<\/h3>\n

My art is a playful exploration of historic symbols of wealth; Specifically, it examines the rich cultural history behind objects and their usage over time. The prints displayed consider the stories of 6 objects which have been historic indicators of wealth; the work highlights the absurdity of the objects themselves but also engenders questions surrounding the British class system as an institution; why is it that such a socially progressive country finds much of its day-to-day life rooted in ideas from a distant past? The sculpture acts as a modern status symbol, an amalgamation of bizarre ideas rooted in a rich cultural history.<\/p>\n
