The Mischief Of Ordinary Things (Not Everything Is As It Seems)

Is that a swing, or a pair of glasses? Is that word ‘ bar belles’ or ‘ barbells’ ? Look again, read again; you will see images and words in a new light in The Mischief of Ordinary Things. This innovative collection of poetry by Felix Cheong is inspired by artist Sam Lay’ s Life in a Notebook series, which playfully hides ordinary objects in plain sight in the artwork. So three-dimensional and seamless is the integration that you are forced to do a double take. In turn, Cheong responds to these thoughtfully cheeky images by penning poems about heartbreak, life in the workplace and art-making. Lyrical, witty and satirical, they offer an intriguing textural counterpoint to Lay's artwork, and a whole new world of meaning-making opens up. Welcome to The Mischief of Ordinary Things, where the familiar appears strange and what is strange, most familiar.
