Talented and subversive artist Carson Davis Brown has created a product sculpture series made from items for sale and on display at various department stores. Brown enters the store, collects similarly colored packaged products and creates massive installations in the middle of an aisle. The installations creatively disrupt monotony in mundane shopping trips by giving consumers a new way to see everyday products through an artistic lens.
Browns work takes a bit of a hidden agenda, to go through a store and create an installation without irritating the workers. The sculptures are typically made with products uniform in color and from a variety of household sections such as beauty, cleaning and even storage.
After the constructions are complete, Brown dismantles the pieces and returns each item back to its proper place.
