Test Sites

Quip & Curiosity, Cambridge

2024

Two-person exhibition

Test Sites brought together Sam Jury and David Kefford in a shared exploration of displacement, dis-ease, and psychological states of being “out of time.” Working across sculpture, collage, and moving image, both artists developed small-scale, improvised worlds using found and reworked materials.

Kefford’s assemblages and collage drawings emerged through layering, cutting, and reconfiguring discarded matter, forming unstable, tactile structures that suggest a fragile, shifting ecology. In dialogue with Jury’s image-based and post-card sized works, the exhibition explored transformation, entropy, and the afterlife of materials within a fragmented contemporary landscape.
