“Greg Streak’s piece, titled Cradle to Hide from the World (1 of 2 parts), is itself contained in the most constrained corner of the gallery: as such it offers an example of how curation affects the meaning of a work. If the piece - a powder-coated white metal cradle that is also reminiscent of a cage - had been hanging from the centre of the gallery, the effect - and meaning - would have been subtly but substantially different. Like much of Streak’s work, it is both beautiful and sinister, balancing the cold and hard with the warm and protective.”
