World of Threads Festival
The Last Supper
2014 Exhibition: Artwork
Taking the form of an opulent tapestry constructed entirely from discarded aluminum cans, Carmelo Arnoldin's The Last Supper depicts a spread of fast food fare readily associated with North American lifestyles. Measuring more than twenty feet long, the work draws on traditions such as religious painting, Roman mosaics and Dutch vanities - and their enduring themes of devotion, desire and death - to reflect on the state of vice and virtue in contemporary life.
