This 8 foot jigsaw cut is a miniature reinterpretation of a previous installation piece at The Harris Museum & Art Gallery. "The simplicities of my complexities" was a 30 foot tall stack of reclaimed lampshades set on a side table.
The 2 Dimensional sculpture is a development exploring past works in a new light. A cleaner simplified aesthetic, almost like a doodle, is something I feel my work is leaning towards lately. As a means to both document but reinvent at the same time.

Introduction

After a realisation that Blogs are not art and that I therefore do not upkeep them very well. I have decided to start from scratch and produce a new blog. This blog is intended to provide an informal archive of my work as it is imagined. Seeing finished work is more suited to visited my website www.garthgratrix.com.

On here I will upload ideas, inspiration, rants, moans and celebrations as new work infolds over 2012 and beyond.
I hope you enjoy reading and feel free to make contact and input into anything I may have said along the way.
