About James R Ford:
Ford’s a British contemporary mixed
media and installation artist. Several of his observative projects contemplate
life in the universe and how we use our time by using everyday materials.
About the Piece:
Ford
collected his nose mucus for two years forming a large snot ball. Ford got the
idea for the piece while at Nottingham Trent University stating, “I was having a
conversation with a friend who didn’t like contemporary art, and he said, ‘You
might as well pick your nose and display that as art. The little flakes of
mucus took a long time to start piling up, and I kept them in a Tom And Jerry
egg cup. It took around two years for the ‘Bogey Ball’ to reach the same size
as a Brussels sprout.”
