Spoons

Works based on the use of wooden spoons

From the late 80s Madigan started using wooden spoons and ladles (picked up in various shops and markets) as the basis for scupltural “still life” works. They were transformed into bottles, wine glasses, vases and even heads, painted and sometimes using collage or retaining original labels. Some even included small carved torsos or heads, creating a miniature environment for these works.
