Made through a process of destruction, a large recycled wooden object is repeatedly re-designed to cater for a reticulation system and fluoro lights to allow found weeds to grow. This is done via a series of ‘quick-fix’ solutions. The object eventually destroys itself- [the lights blow, the reticulation system is blocked by an outbreak of water snails, the weeds die, the reticulation system leaks.] the sculpture is embellished and customized heavily with trinkets and stickers including containers made from melted drink bottles.

*side-note: In the first century AD, Roman Senator Petronius asserted in his ‘Satyricon’ that the decline of a great empire is anticipated by the "celebrity chef". Departed dominant cultures such as the Romans, the Ottomans and the Spanish all made celebrities of their chefs during their final fatal stages. The rise and fall of an empire lists; 1) the age of pioneers. 2) the age of conquests. 3) the age of commerce. 4) the age of affluence. 5) the age of intellect. 6) ending with corruption, excess and the circus of the age of decadence.

Spotlit and infinitely spinning like a display product, this marionette pathetically sketches out a phantom slow motion disaster. It celebrates that fetishised customisation is the last bastion of creativity in a capitalist malaise and silently and cinematically screeches to the sound of "progress".

306 x 105cm
Brand names are no longer so much a signifier of a product but more a stoic blanket that ominously pervades the urban landscape that is obsessed with infinite “progress”. The not-so-unbelievable imposing backdrop is a digital manipulation of a smog filled generic hyper-capitalist skyline.
Literally a ‘blind’, this banner printed on Sports Jersey (a light breathable synthetic fabric whose Lifestyle Brands promise to keep “players” cool, comfortable and efficient) humorously reclaims the Diet Coke logo into an uncannily subverted fetishised tailored instruction, repeated in biblical mantra.
This work is a nihilistic postcard from the abyss of contemporary disconnection and a brutally tragicomic acknowledgement of our unavoidable collective epitaphs.
If your incarcerated worldview is too devastatingly grotesque and you have discovered our aspirant dreams have become an inevitable nightmare you can always just close the curtains… (?)

words by ANDREW GAYNOR from the catalog essay for A SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS
"In a return to the phenomena of cargo cults and nature-worship, Simon Pericich introduces us to ‘a harbinger for a planet obsessed with a shiny greener future.’12 Dressed in a faux-Nike jacket and with a face composed mostly of weeds, this scarecrow-of-tat bears little genetic relation to the ironic currents found in similar photographic works by Simryn Gill or Christian Thompson; rather, The Bastard Saint of Meritocracy (weedhead) is pure B-grade mock-horror, invoking Scream or Freddie Kruger. It is also grimly humorous, covered with crap bits of bling and splattered with discarded glitter, as if this innocent ghoul has just emerged from the leftovers of a consumer party gone way, way wrong. Pericich’s pet theme – ‘the colonisation of surface’13 – continues into the salvaged camouflage advertising backdrop, alluding to the idea that plants are not the only weeds. Culture itself can be just as insidious... "

"
Today's commodities and signs of perceived value will soon become obsolete, as the outdated are eagerly eaten and vomited up again in a fantastical new parasitic arrangement. This customised homemade Molotov cocktail, replete with smiley face stickers and a fistful of dollar notes as a fuse, sits spellbound in a world that is already ablaze, a giggling fetishisation which epitaphs the futility of any form of revolution. Detritus is the new currency in an economics of obvious ruin. This work is a hysterical celebration to the perpetual insanity of consumerism."
