This immersive installation comprised a series of interactive sculptures, based on the structure of the Vans 'Waffle Sole' shoe design, a series of wall-mounted palimpsests, and a new single-sided text, describing objects seen by the artist on a street in Brussels earlier that year. "Toby Christian’s mixed-media floor pieces are created in direct conversation with his environment. His current series explores architectural forms based on the exploded geometric shapes found somewhere between the sole of a shoe and the repeating geometric patterns in ceramic-tiled floors or mosaics. Christian’s large wall-based panels, constructed with chalk, string and paint on board, connect his exploration of the relationships between objects and spaces to the transformative potency of text. The first participant in RH Contemporary Art’s ongoing artist-in-residence program, the Glasgow-based artist will be creating his works in New York prior to the inaugural November gallery opening." - Wall Street International, 2014
