Site Office by Adam Garratt

Adam Garratt’s practice is primarily based in sculpture, installation and print and has evolved around constraints of space, the use of material and repetitious making processes. His work is often made with reclaimed materials and is specifically made to expand into an installation when it is not neatly folded, stacked and rolled for storage and re-use in the garden shed.

For his installation in Traction Project Space, Adam has observed the forms and states of flux that happen in a building site office, and explores the different stages his materials go through when transformed from raw material to sculpture.

"Set up a site office. Use the images taken of a site office and make studies from the space. Mix in sculptural forms and recreations of objects found in the office. Show a space in flux, the contractors will be back to reclaim these items. Fluorescent yellow and orange stand out from the white space. The shelves store a series of found and constructed forms. Coat hooks hold the raw material. Wall displays show the component parts of the deconstructed work-wear pinned to carpet tiles. Taking the form of a pinned insect museum display."
