Matt Hinkley These Earthly Days Go Rolling By

16 March –
12 April 2017

Borrowing the title from Goran Paskaljevc’s 1979 film, Matt Hinkley’s upcoming exhibition These Earthly Days Go Rolling By is composed of a harvest of agricultural specimens and found objects all transposed from their original form into idiosyncratic copies. Drawing together a range of references and working in a small scale that has come to be synonymous with his practice, Hinkley presents this new work subtly scattered on the ground of the gallery; as if left out to seed. The work could be seen as a sculptural question concerned with the space between the original and its replication, between the sedimentation and dispersion of matter, and of all these things as being in constant circulation.
