ROBERT PULIE
The intelligence and humour of materials and other symbolic systems, such as language, is enunciated in the work of Robert Pulie beyond ordinary parlance. Slippages between what is said and what is heard, between two and three dimensions, between positive and negative values are the rich difference that separate expected and actual output. Pulie’s economy ruminates upon stuff ordinarily discarded or not noticed. A nostalgia for and knowledge of materials more often found in room furnishings – a wide variety of timbers, metals, mirror, cane, leather, silk etc – is mined for its rich aesthetic and conceptual generative potential.
