The sum of all things?
2012
The sum of all things? explores the symbolic potential of materials, words and forms. Utilising various combinations and recontextualisations of found objects – most often domestic – Coombs resists making grand gestures to instead focus on presenting tentative forms that are filled with intensely personal, expansive and at times, contradictory ideas.
