Rebecca Orcutt’s work explores the absurdity found in daily life. It incorporates familiar objects which are elevated to a sacred importance not observed in their ordinary function in everyday life. Often, the figures are focused upon these objects, expecting something from them which the objects may or may not be able to give.
