Camden Arts Centre - Never the same river (possible futures, probable pasts)













Ximena Garrido-Lecca - The Followers



















This installation was my main inspiration for looking at death and mermorials as well as spaces that have an absence. The fact that these small memorials do exist in many other countries gives the piece a more poignant reality.

Newspeak - Saatchi gallery




Henrijs Preiss - Resembles the oriental artworks found in Mike Nelson's work at the Camden Arts Centre.


Camille - Reflecting on the past and recreating scenes captured and remaining in the memory. Her work reminded me of the pictures i took of my grandad which had an unmistakable air of memories and the act of reminiscing. 


I found the method of painting very interesting here as the artist used minimal paint, diluted and creates a fragment of a picture. the marks appears like shadows of a memory and leave much of the canvas blank.
Tessa Farmer - Her art appears to give life to these stiff, dead creatures creating a sense of movement and grotesque animation through their hanging in space which possibly allows for a slight sway. Essentially she recontructs what has already decontucted. In my project I have begun looking at derelict structures and this takes this idea into living materials and organic structures.
