‘A Vulgar Show of Wealth’ was made for my show ‘Accoutrements for the Entitled’ at Anna Miles Gallery in 2007.
‘Accoutrements..’ inserted myself (as Cook & Co) into the world of born royalty; questioning the need to ‘win’ such objects as trophies or mayoral chains when you could just buy it. Among these illusions/delusions of grandeur ‘A Vulgar Show of Wealth’ puts the classic solitaire engagement ring to shame by its scale. If size of a stone (even a pure acrylic one) is proof of love, we have a winner- especially if you buy it for yourself!
