Artist Statement:
IAIN MACHELL
Each image on this website is
accompanied by a statement
which outlines themes ranging
from personal and universal
contemporary anxiety to the
investigation of cultural and

objects and 2-D images combine
or stand alone in the space
frame of a solitary drawing
surface or an empty room.
This work has evolved from
figurative and organic
abstract sculpture into
site-specific sculptural
installations; from solitary
formal objects to sensory
environments mixing sculptural
objects with time-based media
such as audio and video.
Fragile materials such as
paper, video & audio tape are
used as surfaces, and to
construct spaces that contain
memory as well as describe
sculptural form.
Now the circle has started
over with objects and images,
mostly figurative, occupying
the white empty space of the
paper drawing surface.

or through surrogate objects
such as furniture and
clothing.
