Amy Flynn, After Us: The Conservators (2021). Soldered and bolted recycled found vintage objects. Dimensions: 22” h x 18” w x 6” d. ©Amy Flynn 2021. Courtesy of the artist.

Amy Flynn turns vintage packing tins into wry, futuristic “fobots” (found object robots) – with personality aplenty!

By restricting herself solely to vintage components, Flynn aims to evoke memories of a time when packing tins and household items were well-designed and long-lasting, unlike today’s throwaway plastics. Her droll characters, like the court jesters of old, convey the truth about today’s excess consumption.
