"I cannot find a better path to understanding Michael Buzacott’s work than the one he opened when he told me: “sculpture is something at the end of my hands”.
These nine words encapsulate so much. They remind us that although his sculptures quiver and quake with depictive purpose, they are not the offspring of his mind or even, at first, his eye. They form in his hands, bit by bit, according to what feels right. His human and animal images may stand and announce themselves to us from across the gallery, but their tingling sequences of parts were wrought at close range from leftover pieces of steel. In pointing this out I don’t deny that his work is linked to history. Not a day goes by when Buzacott is not thinking of some ancestor, whether Picasso, Ian McKay or Peter Powditch. He may not have planned to make a “Europa and Bull” but the fact that he did only underscores how strongly the myths and works of his culture persist in his memory. He would hope that he can remind us that it has all been seen before. But in the end I am more interested in how his sculptures change us, than who they might represent. Buzacott energise our faculties of recognition by drawing us into perpetually unfolding movements: from near to far and back again; from matter to image. His work’s constitution is new. These are sculptures that were born yesterday." JOE FROST, ARC Exhibition Review, March 2022 |
