Over
the past couple of weeks Laila Marie Costa and I chucked a few questions and
answers around, about her practice and exploring some ideas behind her show at
Stockroom “Spirito Domesticus” in
March 2013.
The
show is an exploration of the notion of suburban domestic consumer behavior and
human spirituality. Installed in “12 Stations”, this exhibition celebrates
overlooked patterns, materials and forms. Laila Marie Costa’s work takes
the discarded waste of a consumerist society and re-purposes it as art and
design.
As
we seemed to get a little bogged down in the idea of detritus, I thought I
would leave the email screen shot as an ode to extra shit we think we don’t
need.
I
just hope Laila can sort it out for us.
