Andy Irving's recent show at the gallery Random Dictates subtly rearranged the gallery space. One of the works acted as a space divider cutting the space in half.
It hinted at something we couldn't quite put our finger on. When he came in last week he described the exhibition as a backyard installation - art from the backyard, with interior touches too.
In fact he recreated the aesthetic of the home-handy person complete with saw horse, fencing, debris, as well home renovations gone wrong - the air bubbles that blew out the wall, and the painting that seems about to fall off...
There's the impression of an industrial aesthetic at work but hand-done.
