George Squires’s work is led by intuition and perplexity. Employing a process-based studio practice, Squires’s sculptural forms are characterised by a reciprocity between their representational effect and their material reality. Typically, found objects enter the studio and are extended through a wide range of methodologies, including casting, carving, and assemblage. The resulting work is often held in a balance between the permanent and ephemeral, embodying the tension between a view of art as aesthetic or object bound, and art as concept.
