Grogan’s ongoing shelf series of works that have previously included libraries and ornaments, has moved on to address the home medicine cabinet. Normally enclosed behind a mirrored door, these collections of unique medicines instead reflect our shared existential anxieties, our most secret desires and shameful realities. Instead of being perfect and clinical, these groups of snake oils and cure-alls appear very much used on a daily basis. Crammed into every available space are lotions and potions designed to prevent, preempt or solve all of modern life’s worst conundrums. Employing acerbic humour and haiku-like poetry there is a quick fix to be found within for any and all malady. Whether you end up using it or not.
