Joel Wycherley






Joel Wycherley’s work encompasses sculpture, installation, and printmaking. Primarily using materials salvaged from construction sites, employing traditional and contemporary techniques to combine fragmented figuration with formal language. His work explores the cross-contamination between the domestic and the natural environment, centering around narratives of speculative renewal and regeneration within the waste of industrial capitalist practices. With an interest in the often crude ways in which we approximate, translate and reproduce experiential phenomena, the work examines where these systems of communication faulter, collapse, and become abstract. Favouring the half-light of the crepuscular, the work positions itself in the suspended transformation of one state into the next, solid into liquid, visible to invisible and back again.
