About

Why this artist matters now

Ceal Floyer makes sculpture, installation, and sound works that reframe everyday objects through spare, often absurdist interventions. In Monochrome Till Receipt (1999), a cash register slip listing 49 all-white purchases became a domestic still life filtered through Minimalist abstraction. Her practice pairs rigorous economy of means with a dry, deadpan wit.
