‘Grainger creates a world of the imagination; a world in which ivory towers mingle with hot dogs; where the ideas of Breughel and Schongauer keep company with the tracks of snails and slugs; and in which medieval machines are contrasted with letters to a friend…
Strange improbable buildings rise from unlikely foundations; stones grow into cloth which twines itself around primitive engines, which are festooned with shells, knots, nails and notations’
