I have an inherent interest in things cast aside as “junk”, and like to use common objects in uncommon ways to create absurd interpretations of everyday situations. We see things, but we very rarely look at them. I love to analyse the world around me, considering the things that are so normal we don’t even think twice about them and how strange they really are. Through my work I encourage people to notice the weird and wonderful aspects of the human condition, and to embrace them. Once you start then you see absurdity in everything, and even the most mundane objects become full of a bizarre and nonsensical beauty, which makes life so much more exciting!
The world can be a mundane and underwhelming place, Phee makes things stand out. The monotony of the working week and the things we see so often that we stop noticing them are undone in the hyper-realistic work of Phee Jeffries.
‘You’re Doing It Wrong’ takes the objects of the everyday and presents them in unexpected ways. These installations give an absurdist view of the world that can be simultaneously humorous and disquieting. 100 years on from the birth of surrealism it is a style still very much in evidence in the ultra-bizarre, you wouldn’t believe it if we told you, 21st Century.
