In 2021, Spink was delighted to present an exhibition by internationally renowned artist Ann Carrington at SPINK London’s premises.

'Ka-ching!' exhibition presented a wide range of artworks using objects familiar to us all. Knives, forks, barbed wire, pins, paintbrushes and various other materials come to life to tell evocative stories.

Ann Carrington studied at The Royal College of Art (MA Sculpture), graduating in 1987, Trent Polytechnic (BA Fine Art), 1985, and Bourneville College of Art (Foundation), 1981.

The use of discarded, found and multiples of objects is a fundamental element of Ann Carrington's practice. All objects are saturated with cultural meaning, which she seeks to explore, unravel and investigate. Mundane objects such as knives, forks, barbed wire, pins, and paintbrushes come with their ready-made histories and associations which can be deconstructed and analysed to give them new meaning as sculpture. Materials are merged with form to tell a story through objects which are familiar to us all.
