The seed of Matt Hinkley’s practice was drawing and now his three-dimensional pieces display a deft use of gesture and line. This body of work is an extension of an installation the artist brought to the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Singapore and is comprised of pigmented resin sculptures, bits of sponge, grains, cardboard and twigs, assembled on the gallery floor – as though spilled gently from an eccentric cauldron. It has been described as a constellation, but could also be seen as debris, blurring what we see when we see trash or treasure.
