Sean Grimes practice is centered on modes of collection. He gathers and arranges images and objects both physically and with the use of photography and drawing. Arrangement and sequencing of the collected materials presents a large scope for narrative development. Grimes attempts to draw-out or focus attention to these sequences by overlaying a secondary visual language, such as the use of bespoke frames.
