	DIRT Les Coleman 2009 96pp 4-colour offset 215 x 155 Dirt & Other Works documents the objects, sculptures and installations, many of a temporal nature made by Les Coleman over a period of forty years. His use of transient materials leads to an instability and fragility, and may remind us of our own precariousness. Much of the work is of course now lost. Some of the installations integrate the audience as part of the content of the work. At the same time, ephemeral and inexpensive items of printed matter have always been an effective vehicle for his work. David Briers contributes a critical overview of the work.
