The Heartbreak of SDS: A Selection of Solutions to a Burgeoning Pathology, 1996:

A thoroughly postmodern affliction, SDS is marked by a pathological attachment to electronic media. By appropriating the tropes and techniques of scientific research Maycock carries out his critique of mediated culture with a tongue-in-cheek efficiency.

Relative Marks, Relative Surfaces, 2000 - 2001:

Maycock’s work, assemblages and drawings laden with mapped references, narrative objects, and biographical details about family members, function as a complex, highly coded and referential work which, for their modest scale, are densely packed with spatial, social, economic and political mappings.
