I saved the entire image collection from Portia Munson’s Pink Project.

In this installation, Munson collects and assembles thousands of inexpensive, mass produced pink items. The result is an overwhelming barrage of kitsch that really drives home the cultural significance of the color.

Tables, piles, cabinets, rooms…overflowing with saccharine plastic sweetness…

I’m so used to seeing these items spread out on store shelves that I rarely step back to think about the sheer proliferation of them.

You can see the rest of the images and read the artist statement here.

In a similar vein, Green Piece; Lawn collects environmental objects.

“It is interesting to see what is mass produced in green plastic and how, once again, color is used as a marketing tool. Almost anything you can imagine that has a relationship to nature, good or bad, can probably be found in green plastic.”

The Garden centers on the plastic procreation of nature; visions of artificial fertility and beauty.

Munson has quite a talent for crafting dense landscapes of cultural suffocation. Not a bad thing to immerse oneself in for the sake of a little consumerist perspective every now and then.
