art in the kitchen
What Harmensz says...
This series deals with our most everyday place - the kitchen. And it explores the themes of utensils and crockery as a beautiful extension of our lives. Spaciously set on a simple dinner table, the objects are close and accessible to the viewer making the experience something personal and yet extremely aesthetic.
What the critics say...
Zeus Smithmann: "Harmensz has been insistent that there is a high degree of selection and arrangement in this work. It makes our typical actions seem alive and in touch with time. Simple and somewhat understated, this series is something anyone can enjoy."
Kita Messer: "The artist has always polarised two extremes, which is what we can clearly see in the Cup Citations example. This approach works less well with the spoons, yet by creating a different effect all together, the artist moves in closer with the observer into an almost intimate surface."

This series is a fresh look on an old theme. Not enough of us appreciate the asthetics of the tools and actions that go with that most habitual of daily activites - eating.
I find the presentation of these works warm and accessible while the spoons and forks also border on the erotic.
