  God lives in Detail III, Recycled Computer Parts, 20.5 x 14.5 x 18 cm , 2007
   
 

'God lives in Detail' (2007- ), involves deconstructing and assembling constructions from recycled computers. Escapism is the considered theme as Jools presents his love / hate relationship with computers. As one of billions who enslave their deteriorating eyes at the pixilated screen, Jools finds solace in constructing a beauty of his own from the discarded machines that now stockpile in recycling centres. Every screw, nut and bolt is reused to assemble these constructions. Nothing is added that is not already a part of a computer. Each computer holds a story and this reconfiguration of its life presents a new beginning for the viewer.

   
  Jools Johnson (b.1974 Wrexham, Wales) lives and works in London and Wrexham. Since completing an MA Painting at Wimbledon School of Art in 2002, Jools' practice has evolved into predominately conceptual, installation and construction work that has been widely exhibited within the UK. Jools has recently been selected for the 'Premio Profilo d'Arte 2008' award at the Museo della Pemanente in Milan (Oct 2008), which will then tour to five further venues in Torino, Brescia, Reggio Emilia, Ferrara and Roma later in the year.
