The disturbance created by [Satiate] can be traced to the way it subverts the boundaries between what is interior and what is exterior … As the title implies, the work is about consumption … the obsessive accumulation of banal consumer goods … [so that] the consumer-viewer is metaphorically ingested – swallowed by the obsession with consumption … These objects are in fact the indigestible remains of our culture. They reveal the truth that despite our endless frenzy of consumption, nothing is digested, absorbed, or assimilated, but simply accumulated. (Timothy Long, Curator, excerpt from catalogue essay)
