Description:
Andrew Currie creates a whole world of narrative and dialogue with kinetic sculpture. The use of basic mechanisms and simple movement sets off, in turn, an elaborate play of ritualistic dance and courtly battles. The amorphous creatures made from bin liners act like 3D drawings to perform tableaux which implode, collapse and break down over time.
