Over the past 3 years Tom Beck has made sculptures that consist of fragments of disused or disregarded objects found inside the building. Through often labour intensive set-ups, Beck contorts these fragments into forms that sit and appear to float in space. By taking visual queues from architectural concept drawings, a tension is created between a utopian vision of a freed form from gravitational limits and the future ruins that surround it. Anticipatory grief haunts the image as the artist acts as a medium for the building.
