Wentworth's work as a sculptor is concerned with a gathering of objects and the ways in which they may be looked at and understood. Naming and renaming of objects plays a major part in his practice, not in order to rupture the connection between practicality and possibility, but to extend it. Much of his sculpture plays on a kind of domestic paranoia - if we call it by something other than its name, will we still know what it is?

Richard Wentworth's Cleat is inspired by the artist's personal relationship to objects in their home. Wentworth delights in a haphazard accumulation of things and in the role that chance plays in the way in which objects find their way into most interiors. Domestic objects have an innate narrative - they have a point of origin and a different, designated 'home'.
