entertainment. I n this exhibition, the artist explores bringing
viewers into space where materiality and life converge.Needles' work
enters the modern art conversation through the disciplines of
industrial fabrication and architecture. He uses raw materials, semi
or fully fabricated parts, and construction materials to heighten the
absurdities of seemingly banal structures. Drawing inspiration from
the incredible dichotomy between the body and the mundane
visual/material world he lives in. His work attempts to embrace the
concept of physical liminality, considering the industrial nature of
the cities he has lived in and the impact of spaces on the human
experience. In return, his sculptures address the impact of the body
on those structures and the material identities within these spaces.
By hand painting, applying heat, cutting, drilling, and screwing he
exploits the ductility of common materials to reference forms and
ideas of the human body, while maintaining prior associations of these
objects.
