Trip Hazard
2009
A seemingly mundane piece of gaffer tape rendered in luxurious 22 carat gold leaf on aluminium, Trip Hazard transforms an overlooked, everyday object into something precious and permanent. Susan Collis elevates the ordinary by mimicking the casual, accidental placement of tape on a floor or surface, inviting viewers to question the boundary between the incidental and the intentional. The work embodies Collis's ongoing exploration of hidden value and craftsmanship concealed within the appearance of the unremarkable.
