Discarded half-open chip tray, cast in bronze and painted to look real.Finding beauty in the trashy and ugly, Turk gives the polystyrene used chip tray &ndash; alongside with its cousin the burger tray &ndash; a grandiose makeover, transforming rubbish into art in the form of a painted bronze sculpture. The remains of a traditional English dish and cheap street food for the masses, Turk&rsquo;s chip trays become elegiac and nostalgic relics not just of a hearty meal but a set of cultural values which appear to be rapidly vanishing.

A bronze cast of the middle of a toilet roll painted to look real.Turk&rsquo;s trompe l&rsquo;oeil sculptures of toilet rolls mischievously imply a symbiotic association between art and shit. Indeed, works such as In Memory of Piero Manzoni see Turk make a playful reference to Manzoni&rsquo;s Merda D&rsquo;Artista in which he presented cans of shit as art. Concerned with challenging meaning through re-cycling, re-appropriation and re-contextualisation, Turk&rsquo;s bog rolls might also be seen to taken on a new life as a child&rsquo;s telescope &ndash; itself an object used to change the viewer&rsquo;s perspective. They also bear an uncanny similarity to rollers used by painters and decorators to apply paint and wallpaper, transforming the artist into a humble tradesman in the process. Or perhaps not, since these bog rolls are made not from cardboard but bronze, elevating the status of the banal to something far more grand.
