Statement

Statement

 

Duncan makes machines for thinking in the form of diagrams, drawings and sculptures. They are extensions of research and fieldwork which blend fact and fiction to push beyond set ways of thinking. As both a scientist and artist the works are both imaginative and deeply grounded in place and context, following embodied experiences and material narratives in a search for values which cannot be measured.
