Keys and Red Herrings

Nigel Grimmer works in photography and sculpture (assemblage in the Dada sense may be a more accurate description) to explore identity, glamour, kitsch and authenticity. Immediate qualities in the presentation which come through at first are defined by references to nostalgia, camp and kitsch, as well as a strong sense of irony, and the use of and exposition of media stereotypes. If this draws you in or impacts, then the subtle nuances of crisis, societal expectation, introspection and critique are there to add depth to the practice.
