Tim Middleton, Frame, framing, 200 x 200mm

Collection of Julia Croucher 

Tim Middleton is an artist currently residing in Christchurch. After graduating from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts with a BFA (hons) sculpture in 2012, he has been gainfully employed as a picture framer, making small houses for artworks. By employing casting as a form of drawing, frames and their contents are presented as monochromatic or pale imitations of the original, petrified and mute. The mimetic quality of the casting process reveals enough information to act as a trigger.
