Oliver Cloke

Oliver is largely interested in re-appropriating what we tend to disparage in our everyday society. His work extends to exploring materials and their uses, purposes and our understanding of them with the intention to reignite our awareness of that which we use, refuse and – sometimes – reuse. He has a fascination with the investigation of ideas through playmaking and construction. A language of disruption and ambiguity runs through his work, as well as a conscious engagement with physical and cognitive spaces.
