The Makeshift catalogue was published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at the University of Brighton Gallery in March 2001.

'The idea of the makeshift seems to be the antithesis of the idea of art. Whereas something that is makeshift is usually thought of in terms of expediency and transience, art is more often defined by the notion of its singular purpose and a sense of enduring values, timelessness. Moreover, the makeshift brings to mind a sense of the prosaic nature of the world, a place where the necessities of ordinary life are ever present; while the promise of art has often been that we are able to transcend such things'. Excerpt from the Introduction of 'Makeshift' by David Green February 2001.
