Manchester based Kieran Leach's sensibility is based primarily around making and the history of making. Some critics have noted a conceptual and empirical approach to Leach’s sculptures that could be read as humorous insular activities, in-jokes, self-referenced nods to art making. These works add to Kieran’s repertoire of playing with taken for granted, unaesthetic urban landscape and surfaces. In these particular works, Kieran recreates found graffiti traces, marks and objects left behind, a memory of multiple people left on a collective surface.
