Tim Collins
Glasgow Sculpture Studios is a community of theory, practice and critical dialogue. Sculptors are deeply engaged with the material world and this is important to the way that Tim Collins and Reiko Goto work. Their creative inquiry is informed by reading and thinking about ecology; species interacting with material flows and things in an environment. Objects are merely sensible tangible things that garner attention, meaning, action and feelings. Elemental forces interact with the material world but have no meaning until humanity notices, and sees or, feels them, names them and grapples with their relational qualities. Sculpture for Collins and Reiko Goto is a way of being in the world.
