John wood and Paul Harrison make things. Quite a lot of things. Some of the things look a bit like other things, things you may be familiar with. But Wood and Harrison make them a bit unfamiliar, they make them a bit like a memory of something that you misremembered, something you got a bit wrong. Most of the time this ‘making unfamiliar’ is deliberate; but sometimes it’s Wood and Harrison that do the misremembering, they were the ones that got the thing wrong. But getting things wrong, as an artist, can be quite a good thing. Unlike being a Surgeon.
