Of his work, Reeves says: 'The object and the place are important aspects of my work: a distillation of form, colour, shape, depicting territory both urban and rural. Items can become displaced, but there is usually a relationship within an architectural framework'. You can view more of Phillip Reeves' work on the Glasgow Group website
