Trigger Happy Discipline

Joseph Cutts (1988- )

About this object

Trigger Happy Discipline focuses on the revolving motion of a range of imported drill bits, from steel earth augers to zinc-coated plaster mixers. By carefully controlling the trigger action of the drill, the artist dictates the speed of rotation, resulting in a series of slow, hypnotic movements. Recontextualising the objects in this way shifts the focus from functionality to form and aesthetic value.

The considered arrangement of these tools echoes the principles of Japanese flower arranging, which prioritises balance and harmony within space.
