Hammer to Shape

2021+    COMMISSIONHammer to Shape, Mouth Open is a changing artwork that will appear on the homepage of MIRROR gallery in Plymouth. We wrote the brief for commissioning artists and produced the first two artworks of this series. The commission brief is to make an image, icon, glyph, sigil or symbol of mouths and hammers. A mouth in reference to the origin of the place name Plymouth (mouth of the Plym) and a hammer in reference to the Bertolt Brecht quote “Art is not a mirror for reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” 

Mouth Open (1) references Plymouths coastal location by merging a human mouth with the mouth of an oyster
Hammer to Shape (1) is a hand collaged claw hammer which in its movement takes aim at the word MIRROR on the galleries website.
