Matthew McKee
Wrenched - old tool photography

2016

About the Item

This beautiful old tools photography was done by Matt McKee as part of the old tools series he did from 2016. This print is part of an edition of 30 and come rolled in a tube signed by Matt with a certificate of authenticity. "From as early as I can remember, old tools, in the bottom of a drawer or tool box, spoke to me much more than the brand new ones. Each scuff and ding, the patina of old dirt and grease, even their very shape, tells a story that started with someone deciding that a tool must be created to solve some situation. An old tool tells stories about the hands that wielded it. Whether it is old and worn or lovingly restored to its former glory, it speaks to a history of use and usefulness. It may be only in my head, but every time I pick one up, I can feel the steady hands of crafts people and trades people who, before me, made their mark on the world with these tools."

    The Sweet Blasts! Portfolio represents my own apprehension with our intersections of technology with natural systems. The series is not meant to be anti- or pro- anything. In my mind, it encompasses everything from genetic manipulations to cyber connectivity. Our impact on processes and evolutions that have been tested and processed over millennia are now being altered at a violent pace. And, our solutions to the problems that we are solving immediately will ultimately have an impact that will be felt far into the future. Yet, violent change is not new and is a part of the galactic system...

    "I am primarily driven by an exploration of colour and form. My objective is to bring an emotional is to bring an emotional element and aesthetic balance to my work." "It came to me in the middle of the night - as these things often do - that to incorporate gold leaf into the finished print would neatly encapsulate some of the elements I am trying to express. Its application would obviously have to be done by hand with all its attendant imperfections and mistakes. Kintsugi - the Japanese art of patching broken ceramics with gold - shares its aesthetic with Wabi Sabi." - Valda Bailey...

    "An image taken in Pushkar during what was to be a memorable trip and the last link with normality before the pandemic took hold. We travelled around India, the days becoming more and more precious as we got the sense of Covid's restrictive net closing in around the world. The image was finished some months later, while fully in the grasp of a second lockdown. The addition of gold leaf symbolised for me a sense of hope and the spiritual energy with which I will always associate India, and especially Pushkar." - Valda Bailey...
