James Tailor presents a gallery takeover through the installation of a single monumental assemblage sculpture, accompanied by one painting from his ongoing series of 30 x 26cm canvases.

​

In its most common usage, ‘Runt’ refers to the smallest or weakest animal in a litter, often overlooked or dismissed as less significant compared to its larger, stronger siblings. This definition not only highlights the notion of being marginalised, but also evokes feelings of vulnerability and neglect.

​

Tailor encourages a re-evaluation of value, prompting viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of worth and identity. Through this lens, ‘Runt’ transcends its literal meaning, becoming a powerful commentary on resilience and the importance of acknowledging all voices, especially those that have been historically marginalised.

Throughout history, individuals and communities have grappled with the legacies of past experiences— traumas, triumphs, and the complexities of identity.
