Dan Rees — plasticine on wood
Dan Rees

plasticine on wood

Dan Rees presents a work that is as straightforwardly declarative as it is conceptually playful, using its title as a literal description of its own making. The malleable, tactile quality of plasticine pressed against the rigid surface of wood creates a tension between the impermanent and the structural, the childlike and the considered. Rees invites viewers to question the boundaries between material, process, and finished artwork.
