LEFTOVER

Dunhill and O’Brien attempted to put their studio waste to good use. This work comprised all the test pieces, mock ups and unused components from a 2-year period collected together and covered with thick layers of grey ‘tarmac scatter granules’ (as used for model railway scenery).

 

The 567 dusted objects, which varied in size from a few centimetres to 2 metres were assembled together on a tailor-made cart/display case. This collection of redundant and failed objects acted as a kind of thesaurus of sculptural dysfunction.
