Scour Power started with a magpie impulse. Something caught my eye \u2013 in this case, the shiny, pop-art-ish, pillowy aspects of dish scrubbers. I spot an otherwise throwaway industrial object, become intrigued with its distinctive societal, physical, or psychological signals, and collect more and more of that specific form. Fresh discoveries bring unexpected kinds of beauty. My projects feature multiples of a commonplace \u2018species\u2019; a sort of natural history of the margins begins to take shape.<\/p>\n
Scour Power is the continuation of one of my key photographic preoccupations \u2013 literally bringing to light overlooked items circulating in the torrent of popular culture. This fascination started with an inventory of carpet patterns in Las Vegas casinos –\u00a0<\/span>Carpets of Las Vegas<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>(1997), to studies of artificiality in\u00a0<\/span>Portraits Of Plastic Flowers<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>(1998), photos of postwar LA apartment buildings \u2013\u00a0<\/span>Drive By Shooting<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>(1999), and pictures of the second-hand Ebay sales of Barbie, Ken and G.I. Joes in\u00a0<\/span>Doll Parts<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>(2005), each project focusing on the indefinable qualities of mundane mass manufactured objects \u2013 especially items made of plastic and other synthetic materials.<\/p>\n Amy Wilson 2020<\/p>\n Amy Wilson: @amywilsonprojects<\/a><\/p>\n February 28th – April 18th 2020<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/beautysupplyroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ScourPower_bookcover2.jpg” title_text=”ScourPower_bookcover2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_top=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Beauty Supply<\/b> is a 170 sq. ft. exhibition space located on the second floor of our house in downtown Toronto, Canada. The idea of transforming this space into a gallery has been brewing as a daydream for several years. After some renovations, Beauty Supply is ready for the public. We plan to fill the space with the work of artists that we love, and we would like to invite our community to join in for some kick-ass parties.<\/p>\n Carlo Cesta & Lisa Neighbour [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”right” hover_enabled=”0″ text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_phone=”left” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n contact<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scour Power<\/i>
