In "Ashtray and Lighter," through her distinctive black and green patination, Rose Eken turns everyday objects into relics from the recent past. Leftovers from a night with too much to drink or too many cigarettes, or maybe just a reminder of how everyone used to smoke, they ask the viewer to look closely at the objects in their place and time. The work pays attention to the smaller things that tell a larger story. The patination brings out a surface that is both rustic and contemporary. Each cast is patinated by hand, so no two examples are alike.
