Dead Grip

Mark Mailler


19 May 2022–11 June 2022

Dead Grip explores the construction and environment of a set through a Post Brechtian lens. The mise en scène within the gallery space is adorned with handmade ceramics, glass, clay and objects from everyday life. The works and set build exist together to contextualise a non-linear narrative of the interpersonal relationships currently circulating within the artist’s life. This melting of the two elements beckons a reflection and examination of how we build, develop, and sustain structures of trust and intimacy outside of heteronormative society.
