“True love can transform even the simplest of objects” is the last line in the press release, which fixates on the bucket; its boundaries, borders, metaphors and purpose. In his multimedia installation, the Berlin-based Irish artist brings together wall paintings, drawings, video and sculptural elements to explore intimacy and his relationship with his father through the act of having and making an art exhibition.
In an accompanying text by Eliel Jones, he notes that the bucket as a recurring motif “enables moments of unity and division” and explores the position of power dynamics and cultural inscriptions through an “intimate exchange between himself and his father.”**
