John Stezaker

At the Whitechapel Gallery.
Stezaker's iconic collages of film stills and portraits met with landscapes or large spaces tends to reflect on the great incommunable distant betweeen people. The cut out spaces signifies a loss and opens up a great space where the eye must piece together what has been lost.




Simon Starling - shed boat shed


After watching Andrew Graham Dixon's progamme on the bbc, I was really interested in Simon Starling's work 'shed boat shed' which was fascinated by the process of construction and deconstruction. I found it interesting that Starling had curated the Camden Arts Centre exhibition as his work, i found, really related to Mike Nelson's work in the exhibition.

John Piper



Piper's works are dark and emotive studies of derelict and worn buildings. I found the strong hues and harsh lines give a more dynamic atmosphere to the dereliction and deconstructive subjects I have been studying.
