The basis of Grenville Davey's print suite is Lwo found objects, a glass eye and a glass bottle stopper.
Davey explored the relationship between the two objects: their formal similarity, their known function and dysfunction, and his observation that the two objects: their formal similarity, their known function and dysfunction, and his observation that the stopper had more light within it than the eye.

Grenville Davey was £20,000 richer when he left the Tate Gallery last night after winning the Turner Prize, though to critics and the average punter there was little to choose between the artists on this year's shortlist.

Last night Mr Davey said it was not the business of artists to understand prizes: "I will take a couple of days off and have a good time but otherwise I shall just carry on as usual."

 Grenville Davey > Project Info
In this exhibition Grenville Davey exhibited sculptures that asserted non-site-specific, self-contained objects.
Davey’s sculptures referred ambiguously to objects from everyday life, and the fact that they had obviously been made by the artist and not found means that the works kept their distance from neo-Dadaism — or neo-Popoism — then seen as prevalent in the work of other young British artists.
Just prior to this exhibition, Davey had been using various timbers, exquisitely finished, thus placing a stronger emphasis on craftsmanship.
