Assembly Point is delighted to present Pressure Head an exhibition of new work by Milly Peck.

Continuing an ongoing exploration of ideas surrounding imitation, flatness and the stage prop, Milly Peck creates a sculptural installation alongside a series of wall reliefs made in direct response to the gallery space parodying DIY culture in the domestic sphere. Employing cartoonish imagery pulled from the everyday as a backdrop, hand-drawn networks of faulty plumbing and heating systems diagrammatically expand across the gallery on the brink of slapstick disfunction. Extending directly from existing architectural features within the building, this set-like construction farcically mimics the methodical step-by-step logic of instructional home improvement manuals. The scene quickly shifts from a flattened, pictorial image to a fragmented, three-dimensional stage revealing its fakery in the process.
