About

Brian Griffiths' work brings together craft, collecting and storytelling with an hobbyist's approach to materials and techniques. Often assembling his works out of junk shop curiosities, kitschy nick-nacks, antiquated ornaments or old bits of furniture, Griffiths re-animates these worthless curios into objects both banal and grandiose. This exhibition brings together a number of recent works never before shown in the UK, alongside several new pieces produced especially for this show. Using Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe as its starting point, the exhibition creates a space filled with scavenged detritus, eccentric assemblages and obsolete cultural flotsam and jetsam.
