JAKE WOOD

ARTIST STATEMENT – Jake (B. 2000, Gillingham) is a British artist. His practice is concerned with debunking the idea of fitness, work and exercise. He explores this by integrating his own use of the gym and physicality. This is articulated through performative, sculptural and installation-based works which use humour, tongue in cheek, and slapstick comical gestures. Wood also makes props for his performances. In addition, consider his practice inherently intrusive, where he intrudes into different kinds of zones and environments.
