Gary Hume’s Wonky Wheel sculptures are imperfect, wheel-like armatures rendered in stainless steel and brightly coloured enamel. The Wheels are grouped and individual but part of a whole. The economy of line and slightness of shape, make the wheels appear to balance precariously, vulnerable to the slightest touch or influencing action. Together, they reference an imperfect wheel of life and conceive a carnival of time and a ‘wonkiness’ of both personal and historical experience, whose narrative, though inevitable, is never stable.
