Artwork which is relevant to Dirty White Trash

Lowe's poster ads for the John Lewis Christmas campaign
 
 
Lowe’s advertisement borrows the idea of Tim’s shadow sculpture artwork, Dirty White Trash. We can see that they both use different materials to form the assemblage and then point light to create projected shadows on the wall. However, there is a slight difference between these two artworks. Lowe uses lovely and happy things, such as Christmas gifts to make the assemblage while Tim only uses strange or seemingly useless materials to make the assemblage. In other words, the materials of Lowe’s work are related to the meaning or feeling of the projected shadow but Tim’s artworks do not follow this principle. Therefore, they use different medium to form the assemblage but use the same idea of medium which is light to perform the final work.
