About the work

MeKaniC was written after seeing Mechanics Bench by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi in Tate Liverpool’s Modern British Art Exhibition. Paolozzi has said that he wanted to eliminate ‘arty’ qualities from his work and replace them with an anonymous engineered feel, but resolving the materials into a poetic idea. T his became a metaphor for my piece.
