Armanious’ work encourages the viewer to reconsider the way we define and understand art objects. In merging the boundaries with his objects, they become both the art and the bases, complicating the relationship between sculpture and support.

Tuazon’s work crosses between the realms of sculpture and architecture. Working with building materials such as concrete, steel, and untreated wooden beams, Tuazon embraces the do-it-yourself approach to working, with the physicality of the structures bearing the traces of labour.
Tuazon’s sculptures create a tension with the spaces they inhabit, while testing the structural limits of the materials themselves. Tuazon’s use of industrial materials visually hints toward minimalism, but it is the physical side of sculpture that he is interested in, developing ideas while working with the materials.

Giles Round, ‘Strange days and nights of mystery and fear mixed with excitement and wonder strange days and nights strange months and years’, 2008, installation
Giles Round, Black Special (2004)
Giles Round’s geometric structures and assemblages explores the fusion between material and shape.
“These planar shapes and modular units make up improvised stage sets, upon which are hung or placed secondary elements…”
Round’s work merges art and architecture, with these structures and assemblages becoming display mechanisms for other elements of the work. This relates directly the the structures I am making, as well as being geometric sculptures, they could be used to display other elements of work.
