Art Installation with Ladder, Acrylic Pedestals and Green Apples

9 October 2019

A weathered white stepladder stands at the centre of a white gallery room, its peeling paint carrying the weight of use into a space built for looking. To its right, two clear acrylic pedestals hold a single green apple each — small, precise, deliberate. A flat-screen monitor mounted on the wall behind displays a solid field of blue, and a magnifying glass hangs from the ceiling on a fine chain above the ladder's top rung. The installation turns ordinary objects into a quiet argument: the ladder invites ascent, the apples sit just out of reach, the blue screen offers nothing and everything at once.
