Tampon Coupon
2003
A handwoven wool Gobelin tapestry meticulously renders the mundane imagery of a tampon coupon, elevating an everyday disposable object into a work of enduring craft. Gabriel Kuri juxtaposes the throwaway nature of consumer ephemera with the labor-intensive tradition of tapestry-making, creating a tension between transience and permanence. The work reflects Kuri's ongoing interest in the currency of ordinary commercial objects and their embedded social and economic meanings.
