“Signs of Use” is a tribute to the utilitarian and an homage to the working class. Using direct representation or symbolic objects Tucker nods to the quiet solitude of blue-collar work, and honor their under appreciated burden. The inclusion of iconography from luxury brands quietly suggests the commodification of the proletariat while insisting on the important role of the masses. Tucker’s work serves as a commendation to the overlooked laborers who sustain society, highlighting the elegance and significance found in their everyday tools and tasks. By honoring the analog workhorse and emphasizing simplicity, he invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and dignity inherent in the lives of those unseen.
