the complexity of simplicity


John Ward Knox's work is beautiful in its restraint and its simplicity, in which only one or two materials seem to act upon one another
tiny grains of sand join together to create a weightiness, indenting a pillow like a sleepy head...
wooden walls become pliable, like loosely draped bed sheets...
a chain and wire are held together in an elegant kind of tension...
His works are simple, understated and perfectly poetic!
