Brainal Pipes Confusion Cave

Overview

Wendy Wilkins and Wes Hill have been an artistic team since 2000, spending more than a decade pushing the boundaries of their craft. They are reaching out to audiences indirectly, communicating through their work and finding the sweet spot where the readability of their art and its aesthetic pleasure blend.

Specially developed for the Metro Arts space it abides in, Brainal Pipes Confusion Cave is a series of installation pieces created between 2008 and 2012. Described as ‘obtuse metaphors staged through banners and commercial signage material’ where the banners and commercialised items form a cave that encompasses the entire space.

Wilkins Hill (the persona of the artists amalgamation) has had a long history of interpretive dissection of modernity; their obfuscation of coherence in favour of glimpses of logic creates work that requires the whole attention of audiences, who must view the work in depth to acquire meaning. While it may seem like hard work on our part, understanding of Wilkins Hill and their intentions is a truly rewarding experience.
