The Machine Stops (2022)

By Jo Clements 2023
The Machine Stops (2022) giclee print on Aquarelle Rag paper 110 x160cm An arrangement of hand sewn velvet brains are presented as a still life alongside objects that refer to autobiographical moments from the artists working class background. This humorous arrangement infers complex meanings from a bizarre set of seemingly unrelated signifying ephemera that Clements has carefully selected and captured in a way that allows for multiple readings and visceral responses.
