About the exhibition

This exhibition, Comb Over by Sherrie Knipe, consisted of 70 individual oversized plywood combs, along with stools titled Tail Combs. The works were based upon the combs in use in our everyday lives. They were cut from 25mm plywood and no two are alike, though several are similar.

Combs are simple items that we all have personal relationship with. They conjure memories of our past and perhaps suggest a future as our relationship changes with this humble object. This work may be nightmare for a hairdresser or middle aged man, but no matter what the relationship, in this context they present a humorous view of the everyday.
