"Things
to be found in the wunderkammer of Joey Veltkamp: cans of Pabst beer,
bottles of Elmer’s glue, a little plastic Indian, bears, flowers,
matchbooks, antlers, animal skulls, owls, scissors, ephemera repeated
often enough in his work to constitute a thread - not necessarily
narrative, but collectively symbolic. Considered individually, these
candidly drawn objects are more or less inconsequential, but as an
ensemble, copied in detail to paper or canvas, they accrete a
biographical and political weight that’s complemented by a fascinating
touch of obsessiveness. |
