Tim’s work is constructed from recycled materials, for the Garden Gallery he will be introducing wooden chip forks and lollipop sticks placed within the soil of the garden, watching? the viewer.

Title of work - Gathering

Approximately 3000 chip forks, lollipop sticks and wooden stirrers (common to takeaways and the seaside) are to be arranged upright in a crowd within a garden. Surrounding the viewer, the forks, sticks and stirrers have simple faces drawn on them: two dots and a line. An expressionless gaze. The reason behind their gathering is not clear. Do they look out for help or in bafflement to the outsider’s arrival? In either case the viewer becomes the viewed.

This piece continues an ongoing investigation of the transformation of the everyday and the mundane.
