The title derives from the artist’s fascination with the lettering of the word “smoke” as it appears on American road signs. For Handforth “smoke” is a word, a sign but also the indication of a clouded environment in which forms are dissolved and shapes are set in movement. By altering both the materials and the proportions of ordinary objects, the sculptures of Mark Handforth appear to be serious and ironic, playful and formal, monumental and melancholic. The artist intervenes on the signs and symbols of everyday life creating a gallery of expanded objects endowed with a wild physicality and a distinct dynamic energy that generates a free flow of mental associations and a wide range of poetic and whimsical interpretations of reality and contemporary art.
