GRIFFITH AARON BAKER
Griffith Aaron Baker was born in Regina in 1981. His work is a critique of the lax attitudes of North Americans towards waste management. Through his sculptures, composed mostly of plastic materials, Baker calls into question our relationship with objects, which we consume and throw away profusely. At ORANGE, he examines our postmodern consumption habits in the new work
Petro Max'd. This piece, made up of a great number of plastic bottle caps, is an expression of the consequences that the enormous quantity of objects we produce can have. By withdrawing these bottle caps from the cycle of consumption, Baker hopes to challenge the viewer, leading them to think about the kind of consumer they are in everyday life and thereby to become aware of the effects of the choices they make.
