Deacon's sculptures employ curvilinear forms made from a wide range
of materials that are more traditionally associated with the
manufacturing of industrial and domestic products. The works
display both the method of construction and the craftsmanship
involved in their making, through the surface details of screws and
rivets, stitching or gluing used for material such as galvanised
steel, corrugated iron, cloth, leather, linoleum and laminated
wood. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Tate
Britain, this next volume in the Modern Artists series addresses
key aspects of Deacon's career, beginning with his early
performance-based work such as Stuff Box Object - an experimental
piece involving him climbing into a box, bolting himself inside,
experiencing the interior space, climbing out and then working with
plaster on the exterior of the box. Since then he has produced a
highly coherent and yet diverse body of work in sculpture,
combining natural forms with an industrial sensibility, ranging
from the domestic scale of his ongoing Art for Other People series
to monumental work for public commissions. As with other volumes in
the Modern Artists series, a key feature of the book is the
interviews, here undertaken by Penelope Curtis, Director at Tate
Britain. Six themes are explored, bring the sculptor's thoughts and
processes vividly to life.
