Postler Ferguson

PostlerFerguson investigate ideas of object and context, in a serious way. There is an intellectual understanding coupled with a thoroughness in detailing here which makes these objects really work. The construction and scale of the Buoys is absolutely perfect, and the affect of having one of these very slightly rocking in the corner of the room must be serene/absurd/unnerving, depending on the viewers mood.
The Paper AK47 is highly convincing technically,  plays on the toy gun idea but the light weight also gives another physical dimension. And way the paper is left white exaggerates the detailing, giving the most fear inducing, (and most produced weapon ever), an almost porcelain feel. Like the ghost of an original weapon.
