Catalogue Note
“The grids are a natural part of making large photo-pieces. It is like how a week has to be divided into day, for convenience. A house has to be made of bricks. You can’t make a house from one big brick. You cannot make a skyscraper with one enormous sheet of glass. Everything is in sections.” Gilbert & George
