Keith Farquhar.
Keith Farquhar’s work engages with everyday objects, materials and technological processes. The often overlooked cultural signifiers that shape his work are the same components that form the background ambience of contemporary life, each providing clues to activities personally undertaken or observed first-hand.
Farquhar’s work is underscored by a subtle humanism - a concern for the human subject amid conditions that radically alienate us from ourselves and our environment.
