 “Aurora Sander produce objects that circulate as art, but might take on purpose beyond the art world, often suggesting character traits and personal characteristics. These characters might appear confused, as if they were cooked up like a dough in a bakery oven, whose purpose is to be devoured by a hungry public, and instead of being served up for consumption, is forced to serve up herself. The characters might form from conversation and appear in public objects staged in a set up, perhaps like an actor on a stage, or merchandise in a show room. The characters might be acting out through crude mechanical set ups, such as the mechanized robotic butler which has appeared in several of Aurora Sander's set ups. It is a mix between the anthropomorphic crab Sebastian from Disney's animated spectacle The Little Mermaid and the General Utility NonT​heorizing Environmental Control Robot from Lost in Space, a fumbling and humouristic take on the servicem​inded butler, caught in his own anthropomorphic nightmare, serving drinks till his batteries run out. “
