Sculpture, Painting, Photography, Drawing and Ceramics will be showcasing their most recent works from the 6th till the 8th of May. 150 Artists works in one room. PRIVATE VIEW on the 6th.

Sandy is at CDPOM World Bermondsey

The kind people at CDPOM World are collaborating with me on my 'Sandy the Golden Retriever. 2011' piece. The correspondence of the events that occur will soon be exhibited amongst Camberwell College of Arts 2nd year, 'PEEK SHOW', biscuit factory Bermondsey on May 6th - 9th. 

Sandy (aged 7 in the picture) is a dog I never got the chance to meet in my lifetime. I found a photograph of Sandy the Dog (my great aunties from Warrington) within my families box of old photographs. I chose to enlarge the image of the dog in order for me to then be able to interact with Sandy who I have no memory of. I am bringing memories back to life so that one can experience even more happenings: physically engaging with a once, frozen fragment of time.

I hope Sandy behaves himself, I am starting to become attached to that little fella!

the 'breeding' of Sandy the Golden Retriver

I will be able to now walk a dog that I never had chance to meet, but have heard a lot about. This dog has gone from beeing a small fragment in a huge family photo album, to a life size dog once more. Sandy will be going to CDPOM dog kennels in Bermondsay.

Dogs found in my family's photo album.

Read this photograph

At first glance this image looks like a badly taken picture of a newly married couple, which is true. But once you start to read the photograph you start to spot accidental incidents that have also been captured. Is it the man tarring the roof in the background / is it that the spots of clouds are perfectly lined up with the angle of the roof / or simply that the groom inside the car is giving a happy thumbs up.

Visual Incidents that occur when reading a found photograph.

When looking through my families old photographs searching for the 'legs, torso, plant, door, 6x4' series, I stumbled accross this beautiful photograph. You can clearly see a lady sat comfortably with a tree for a head and a door in the background. I need to do nothing to this image, it is already collaged together.
