SUTHERLAND ROBOTICS                                                                                         by Grant Sutherland

As a cabinetmaker for many years I have sourced salvaged materials for renovation into contemporary bespoke furniture.

In the past the 5 years I began to combine salvaged wooden pieces with industrial and mechanical parts to produce humorous sculptural assemblages

This exhibition is my first solo exhibition. 

Have a look around and enjoy. Thanks for visiting!

Artist Statement

As a small boy Grant enjoyed taking apart mechanical objects and reassembling them. In this, his first solo exhibition, Grant continues his childhood explorations playfully utilising found and salvaged objects from the past - breathing new life and humour into pre-loved everyday objects and discarded mechanical and industrial parts. Grant’s past as a cabinetmaker of bespoke furniture, can be glimpsed in his use of old patinated wooden objects in most of his robotic assemblages. He enjoys bringing these unrelated objects together to create sculptures with their own distinct personalities.
