The idea for the majority of the work comes from a relationship the artist has with another abandoned building: a magnificently damaged 1930s warehouse with its waves of dramatically buckled flooring.

So the show is a push and pull between what is inherent to a space, and what the individual inhabiting the space constructs for himself.

Maker has transformed grayDUCK from a serene, open space to a maze of disjointed fractions. The exhibition rolls 30 pieces deep, which is a high number given the scale of the works.
