Dan Rees

plasticine on panel, in artist's frame

Dan Rees presents a work that blurs the line between material and title, inviting the viewer to question what is being described and what is being displayed. The piece plays with self-referential humor and conceptual ambiguity, as the title itself reads as a set of studio instructions rather than a traditional name. Rees continues his investigation into the conventions of art-making and presentation, foregrounding process and framing as subjects in their own right.
