Suitably Distracted

16 August - 7 september 2022

Pavement Finissage Tuesday 6 September 6-8pm

Pavement reception with the artist at Camden Peoples Theatre. BYOB.

Daryl Brown’s work is explicitly construction led and takes repetition, rituals of making and the obsessional to new levels of extremes. Forms are created through an additive process of corresponding parts which are then subjected to cutting and shaping. A type of geometric abstraction is formed due to the algorithm of the works construction.  

For Glass Cloud, Daryl has created ‘Suitably Distracted’, an installation of five unique timber shutters that fill the gallery window space. ‘Suitably Distracted’, aims to create a visual intervention that plays with the viewer’s focus of attention and questions the artists own and societies relationship with distraction. Each shutter is titled after Googles top five suggestions to improve concentration - ‘Train your brain’, ‘Improve your sleep’, ‘Make time to exercise’, ‘Spend time in nature’, and ‘Give meditation a try’.
