Tim Noble, previously of the British duo Noble & Webster, famous for their works where piles of found street junk cast meticulous shadows upon the gallery wall or employed carnival lights to spell out words like ‘Forever’. Tim Noble & Sue Webster's work played with ideas of permanence, romance, and a youthful, energetic, dream of a punk inspired art.
