"Dominic Wilcox is an artist who works within the territory of the 'everyday'. Everyday objects, environments, buildings, human interaction, no area of normality is out of reach. His work, which is usually layered with an ultra dry wit, places a spotlight on the banal, always adding a new, alternative perspective on things we take for granted. His work has been published and exhibited extensively around the world and he continues to develop his work in all fields of creativity."
cute. His ideas were frustrating, they remained "dry wit" they are a social comment on the everyday but don't seem to provide a vehicle to distribute this commentary. His intent was disappointing; the context of creating an "alternative perspective for things we take for granted" seemingly came from giving something his full attention and playing with it until it melted or performed in an unusual way. He portrayed a very backward way of designing. 'i decided to do this and now i see that it means x'. This visual output came across as an end satisfactory end point for him, yet there seemed to be so much potential in his projects i was brimming with questions and development. His pebble project had never been tried, did the stones actually skim? did the gold stay on? although its interesting to note that by coating a stone in gold and not using it he abstracted the function of the stone and made it obsolete and less valuable than the stone was when with prime skimming potential.
