Escobar pulls everyday objects—a skateboard, a book page, a baseball bat—from the world of the mass produced into the realm of fine art through his use of appropriation, accumulation and repetition.
The result is a work of art composed of multiple objects that were once singular and utilitarian and are now presented as one work that is imbued with entirely different aesthetic and conceptual qualities.
