TITLE explores a re-emergence of non-objectivity among a new generation of artists who share an interest in constructing images and objects through the build-up of materials and surfaces. The works develop from and engage in their own materiality as stuff is manipulated in to things. Rather than a concept or an idea it's often the materials that act as a starting point and through kinaesthetic processes, trial and error and experimentation, are assembled into new forms/objects/things. The human qualities (mistakes, slippages, imperfections and unexpected results) become integral both to the form of the work and the viewer's reading of it.
