Wood, J and Harrison, P Paint trays & Wall & Words the in order all the wrong. In: Ways of Seeing, Bo Lee and Workman, Bruton, UK, 3 August - 23 September 2023.

Item Type: Exhibition
Creators: Wood, J and Harrison, P
Abstract: John Wood and Paul Harrison in their own words ‘make things that move and things that don’t, things that are flat and things that are not, things that are mildly amusing and things that are definitely not’. Their work is primarily performative and is intended to challenge our understanding of the ordinary, and to encourage us to look beyond it – with added visual prompts. Their most recent series of works ‘Paint trays’ (2023) takes the decorators’ paint tray and transforms it into a carefully considered painting. The exhibition also includes their works 'Wall' (2023) and 'Words the in order all the wrong' (2023).
