Simon Newby manipulates modular objects and materials to create works that play with pattern and movement within two and three-dimensional spaces. Diverse materials are altered or concealed, triggering new ambiguous surfaces and forms.
Underpinned by a haphazard linearity, his sculptures have been imagined as drawings in space. In these fleeting sketches, once functional objects and materials slip between the rational and ridiculous, in various states of completion. They begin to offer up a visually enticing logic of their own, which is awkward, unsettling and usually quite funny.
