His constructions / artworks showed a concern for a natural way of building, without forcing shapes, that depended on principles of support and leaning Duffy says, "I decided to work alone, to leave the studio situation, to work in urban derelict sites or fields or beaches or parks. To react to whatever situation I found myself in and use the materials and characteristics of that situation to create my artworks. It worked at first, the experience expanded to the extent that I could cope with a wide variety of materials and using only basic methods of construction create works that satisfied me greatly. Each work was part of the time I spent in each situation and when I left would change again through their ephemeral nature. Even in the chaos of a derelict site it was possible to bring an order, a discipline, to impose my reactions on it. Graffiti and the work I produced or the change I made was always noticeably different." |
