Ever Grainger

South East
Working since 2019 with hand-extruded silicone. Through adapted processes with a simple sealant gun, silicone is squeezed, squashed and drawn with into works that sit somewhere sculpture and drawing.

Recent work has built on a long-standing interest in art histories and the entangled ramifications of the range of artists’ tools and materials at play: from the basic pencil to the recent advancements of 3D scanning and prototyping.

With current computer technology removing the need for any physical interaction, I instead return to more basic tools where spontaneous overrides, and responsive control in the moment are still possible as a way of attempting to retain contact and negotiate this dilemma.
