A single screen video gives breathing instructions that induce a sense of calm and well being. Sculptures act as empathetic mascots. Faces greet you with a smile. Old technology mimics slightly newer technology. A complaint about the world is lodged. Drew’s work aims to both create and destabilise systems, playfully referencing the history of film, music and conceptual art.
