This showcased event has concluded.
Dust Collectors is group show by ceramicist Shaun Hayes, painter Ellie Kaufmann and printmaker Adam Bell. These three artists share an interest in trash, obsolescence and nostalgia through objects and situations signifying a decaying, fading modernity.
Shaun works through methods of repetition, rearranging and joining of cast objects paired with a tonal colour palette. His sculptures are reminiscent of fantastical and comical imagery whilst also highlighting the tensions of growing up in a wasteful, thoughtless consumerist society. Drawing on the aesthetics of traditional Chinese ceramics combined with contemporary objects, his adorned vessels echo a blending of past and present, old, and new and illustrate the material similarities between plastic and ceramics.
Ellie Kaufmann's paintings deal with a reflection of everyday mundane life exploring the theme of 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.' These works characterise and celebrate a stockpiled suburbia, maximalist interiors, outdated exteriors, meaningless collections, fantastic trash or even objects that are no longer useful but kept for aesthetic decor or to spark some sentimental joy.
Adam Bell's work emerges from his preoccupation with the graphic and sonic form of the compact cassette, and the crucial role they have played in catalysing social change and enabling the spread of music cultures. In Dust Collectors he presents VHS fresh prints.
