Lag III , comprises a stack of grid insulation boards, positioned here in a play with volume and surface. In sculptural terms Tallentire is interested in the hyper-modernity of the material and its delineation as part of our time. Oscillating between a sense of usefulness and uselessness—the object (in this case the insulation grid board) proposes itself as a work of art, stripped of function and refusing its potential to moulded into shape becoming instead its own image.
