ceal floyer


"The work Monochrome Till Receipt (White) (2009) is a receipt recording the purchase of various items and groceries such as whole milk, doilies and raddish. These goods all share being of the color white. With minimalistic exactitude, at once ready-made and conceptual sculpture, this work is a play on presence and absence. The monochrome sculpture is made in one's head, the white wall becoming painting"

"For years Ceal Floyer collected the pieces of paper customers used to test pens at stationary shops, ultimately creating her work Works on Paper (2009). Displayed together a written babble emerges, questioning the ideas around authorship in art as well as asking what determines the public and the private sphere. The unwittingly created works on paper bear their authors' appropriating insignia thus undermining the generated readymade."
