Extract from AJG Saul Fletcher press release, 2012:

"...Fragments from the artist's life are pieced together through intimate images of installations meticulously constructed directly onto his studio wall. Fletcher transforms everyday objects into melancholic sculptures and integrates them within layers of flaking paint, as tender, almost hermetic compositions emerge through a surface that serves as both his canvas and stage.

The fragile and ephemeral state of Fletcher's subjects relay a sense of intimacy akin with that of a lost relic, whilst the modest scale of his photographs entice the viewer to peer into these extended metaphors. Remnants from previous arrangements are often partially concealed by paint and symbolic intricacies emerge on closer inspection. In one photograph, a suitcase formerly belonging to the artist's wife is suspended from the ceiling by sections of twine and a pink rag, perhaps offering an insight into a previous life on the road or referencing our innate desire to hoard and sentimentalize possessions. Fletcher always allows for ambiguity: are we to imagine the suitcase's contents or to assume that it is empty? The presentation of the form of a bicycle made from feathers, wood and wire in another image offers a compelling dialogue. The artist himself travels everywhere by bicycle but here, the stationary bike becomes enveloped by his fluid, metamorphosing wall. ..."
