Burmese teak and reclaimed mild steel
29 x 8 cm
2024
Simon’s work is an observation or commentary on our shared social and cultural experience, drawing attention to the overlooked and questioning our perception of reality.
Focusing on everyday objects, ideas and encounters, he is interested in disrupting the value of these things by taking them out of their functioning context and challenging expected outcomes.
Original meanings become blurred and open to question.
Within this context, he is exploring notions of, value, uselessness, futility, and obsolescence and takes a humorous approach in celebrating the bizarre, the mundane and the absurd of modern-day life.
His work often references architecture and the urban environment and structures and social systems.
Simon is often making crafted objects alongside found or abject materials or objects that have their own history and their own set of meanings.
Process is often labour intensive reflecting the close relationship between material and value of making in a digital world.
