"TOOLS ARE AGELESS AND CAN ALWAYS BE OF USE"
"They each have a life and history of their own. Seeing them again calls to mind images, gestures, and use. For each one there is a story…"
Drawings by Everett trace and layer the forms of outdated hand tools, found by the artist in a studio outside Toulouse, France. Rust marks mix and stain the brittle sheets of a 60 year-old watercolor block found amongst the tools, leaving indexical fragments of now-obsolete utility, pushed to the point of abstraction. Images are presented alongside texts by Bruno Tollon-describing the history and purpose of the tools-and prose by Rabih Alameddine.
