Gallagher’s adaptations are made from discarded materials that he gathers whilst working as a creative freelancer, allowing their size and history to determine the dimensions and patina of the sculptures. Plasterboard and shims are the basic materials for any home improvement job, though they are usually covered up and hidden once in place. Here they are celebrated for their functionality with the use of colourful shims that jar with the dry, fragile powderiness of the snapped plasterboard to support and level the structure. While these exist as works in their own right, they also exist as functioning objects that are, more often than not, given as gifts to be used.
