Concerning Matter concentrates on artists whose
practice seeks to appropriate, transfigure or
transform a ready made object or familiar material.
The use of the every day object has been used in
the genre of 'still life' since the early 17th
Century to express a narrative about the our
relationship to our environment. At Collyer Bristow
Gallery the works include used catalogues, fliers,
car parts, cleaning product vessels, scaffold and
yarn. These materials or base matter produce works
that maintain a delicate balance between the overt
and the obscure.
