[INSTANT] Eyeball Lubricant
Hamlyn’s text sculptures often have dystopian or idiosyncratic undertones, designed to sit somewhere between retro and contemporary in aesthetic and often depict signage or relics of a skewed parallel in which fake products, adverts, narcissistic tropes and pseudo-optimistic predictions exist within an obscured and ambiguous contemporary reality. It is said that [INSTANT] Eyeball Lubricant is a remedy for contemporary boredom, the gloopy slime that keeps the eyeballs moist as we scroll through contemporary life.
