wood, wire mesh, iron rods, wooden pedestal
A sculptural work by Peter Coffin that takes its title directly from its constituent materials, blurring the boundary between object and description. The piece assembles wood, wire mesh, and iron rods atop a wooden pedestal, inviting viewers to consider the raw, unmediated relationship between a work of art and its physical components. By naming the artwork after its materials, Coffin challenges conventional notions of artistic transformation, suggesting that the act of naming and arranging may itself constitute the creative gesture.
