|
Glyndor Gallery and Grounds | September 9 – October 13, 2008

Adam Brent’s large-scale sculptural installation, The Ballad of Crook Horn Road, employs the slick language of suburban architecture to explore ideas of domesticity, memory and childhood. Built out of polymer-infused plywood, wire mesh and window panes, the structure references the distinct look of late-1970’s residential design to instill a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness in the work.
