Artwork location: United Kingdom
This intriguing artwork features a small, weathered metal bucket suspended from a simple, rustic black wooden plaque. The bucket, artfully distressed, is painted in a deep black hue, interspersed with hints of vibrant blue and subtle green, evoking a sense of mystery and allure. Hanging from an intentionally crude, knotted rope, the bucket's utilitarian origins are transformed into an object of artistic contemplation. The most striking element of this piece is the large, roughly cut hole on the front of the bucket, inviting viewers to ponder its significance. This deliberate imperfection challenges traditional notions of beauty and functionality, encouraging a deeper reflection on the object's history and purpose. The overall design is minimalistic yet imbued with a profound sense of narrative, as the worn textures and bold colors contrast sharply against the stark white background. The work speaks to themes of decay and transformation, drawing attention to the beauty found in imperfection and the passage of time. This art piece stands as a testament to the power of reinterpretation, taking an everyday object and elevating it into a symbol of artistic exploration and philosophical inquiry. The viewer is left to engage with the bucket's enigmatic presence, fostering a unique personal interaction with the art.

Presentation
Tom Bull (b. 1995, Northamptonshire) makes sculptures and video installations in an absurd attempt to capture the lived exprience within these dark, strange and unstrustworthy times. Working and living in London, through the landscape of folklore, urbanisation and rituals, Bull investigates the tension and slippage between fiction and representation, violence and sensitivity, truth and mythology. With a wide range of tools and materials borrowed from architecture, model making, craft, aspirational design, preservation, farming and forestry, Bull employs a sculptural practice that confronts and manipulates traditions, time periods, lore and genre. His most recent works interrogate "country life" by challenging issues around land, loss, community, wealth, nostalgia, access, labour and violence. These sculptures are nuanced and complex, not just imitating life but working within it, for they do not seek answers to life's ambiguities instead they highlight them as well as their resultant anxieties, playing whin them as a visual medium, giving them form and presence.
