Rosie Deacon is a Sydney-based artist working in sculpture and installation. She engages with the spectacle of obsession and realms of the absurd. 

My installation and digital video Kangaroo Cook-off and the Whole Kitsch’n Kaboodle is an installation that evokes a domestic environment we all experience, presented as multiple worlds and states. The work is a collection of sculptures and a DVD that exist as communities, so to allow the viewer to see and understand seemingly everyday objects differently. Each object takes on a persona that, when inspected more closely, reveals its own a story. By crowding the objects there is a sense of anonymity, but also one of coexistence.Kangaroo Cook-off and the whole Kitsch’n Kaboodle repurposes society through a mash-up of very diverse
materials to reveal something more, the hidden nature of all things.
