Convey brings together a number of soft forms based on Dunhill and O’Brien’s lost works, travelling slowly in procession around a motorised conveyor belt.
As each loosely stuffed object passes beneath the belt, its structure is temporarily pulled into shape and made legible, only to collapse again as it returns to the top.
As with Dunhill and O’Brien’s other motorised works, the movement is deliberately geared down to an almost unnatural slowness. The procession acquires a certain stately elegance and purposefulness, while remaining relentless, awkward and faintly hopeless.
