“Domestic Death Rattle”
Adam Cruickshank
4 June → 26 June 2010

The recent preference, if not prevalence, of the ‘hand-made’ within aspects of consumer culture stands in stark contrast to the vast majority of our culture’s manufactured objects, most of which are the result of distant economic systems, rather than creative ones. A studio-based process of repositioning, reevaluating, revealing and obscuring domestic forms and details has resulted in a playful mixtape of popular interior culture and desire. A mongrel medley of Better Homes and Garden’s aesthetic manipulations and a mishmash of misplaced display home decoration.

Adam Cruickshank is a Melbourne based artist who works across a broad range of media and installation techniques. He has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally – most recently with the Reverse Cargo solo show at Craft Victoria in Melbourne.
