Calum is an artist working in south east London. His current work explores function and materiality, often within the realm of furniture and the domestic. Through adapting ready made objects and using scrapped materials, he layers suggested histories upon the objects he creates. The functionality and aesthetic of his work is most often in response to people, landscapes or environments that hold personal significance.
Storytelling is at play. Clues to which are left behind in the signs of wear on the surface, or the objects functions being clearly adapted to suit a suggested need. The audience is urged to use the furniture how they choose. Allowing them to participate in the ever growing lore of the piece.
