Description:
'Andrew Miller has combined a found object with one he has fabricated and is a copy of the other. Two topless tables stand "face to face" as if in intimate dialogue, the title of the work, Morecambe and Wise suggests there is a joke involved, but there is nothing inherently funny about this work. The humour must be of a philosophic kind, a wit which lies in the artist's game with our preconceptions about the functionality of a work of art.'
