Timothy Fluck
Tim Fluck’s tabletop-sized porcelain sculptures of various component parts are arranged to create playful yet precarious architectural compositions. The work brings together seemingly disparate forms and textures, from minimalist-inspired brutalism to the maximalism of Memphis design. Conceptually the work reflects on the origins of brutalist architecture, exploring the experience and ‘psychology of space’, and the idea of utopia as ‘the promise of something rather than the endpoint’. The contrast of clean and seemingly infinite forms, with playful and colourful imperfect protrusions, aim to represent the precarious harmony of hope and the perpetual reach for the elusive promise of utopia.
