Daryl Brown at the Garage Project

The Garage Project on Hoxton Street are getting set to unveil their latest exhibition featuring unfinished modelling and sculptures.

Daryl Brown uses off cuts, sweepings and leftovers which have been discarded to transform them into something special and ever evolving.

His craftsman’s approach and relationship with the tools and materials are typically Dad DIY in that all of his works are left unfinished.

Pushing the sculptures to the point of collapse, the work is then deliberately left to potentially evolve and become something else in the viewers mind.

Daryl Brown ‘Ramblin’ is running from Friday 24th of May until Sunday the 16th of June at the Garage Project just behind the Howl and the Moon on Hoxton Street.
