Sausage

Richard Slee (born 1946)

‘Sausage’

2006

Strapped to a handyman’s folding workbench,

Richard Slee’s ‘Sausage’ appears a comic

and surreal object. Its shiny white surface

and oversized form create a cartoonish fantasy.

Slee’s work frequently plays with everyday items

in ways that make them seem larger than life.

Here, the sausage and workbench suggest

male enthusiasms.

Made in Brighton
