CLOUD OF HAMMERS

About

Using fabricated cabinet drawers and doors engulfed by large swathes of brightly coloured laminate, Greg Cox has created a new body of works for his first solo exhibition, A Cloud of Hammers. Perhaps drawing parallels with architecture's ability to construct entire amenities from scratch, these new works also glance to Minimalist archetypes for their sharp lines and rectilinear forms. It is within the obviously faux elements of vague furniture origin that we place our faith that it has once had function. It is this perception, however, that the tautological aspect of the work is revealed and where craft gives way to fantasy.
