◌ 3 flying ducks ◌ For those who grew up with Trading cards, barbies, trains, mc Donald toys. Who have aunties, uncles, parents or grandparents who’s mantle piece is crowded with small ceramic pigs, S & P shakers of every size and description, of crown linen and those stupid flying duck, these islands are those collections of the mass produced, the kitsch and ugly. For anyone who has been into countdown or new world with a small child. “This is the apotheosis of consumption; utilitarian object that is intended not to have a use, but to placed on the shelf, skipping the phase of circulation, utilization altogether”
