RON ROBERTSON-SWANN, At the window, 2019, steel, painted, 130.5cm x 103cm x 85cm

“Robertson-Swann is a master at getting things in the right place; even so, he often finds that they end up where he didn’t expect them. He seldom knows in advance where something should go, but realises when it’s right. The situation is is not unlike that of the good cook, who follows no recipe but is guided by the quality and availability of the ingredients. Or again, to borrow an acoustic image, it is a little like tuning objects in space – to some mysterious scale not known in advance.”
