BAS7

 The opportunity arose to be part of an exhibition connected to the British Art Show 7. The show was for the partner colleges of Plymouth University, as an ex Camborne College student I was put forward for this opportunity. The BAS7: In the Days of the Comet looks to art made in the period 2005-10, paying particular attention to the ways in which artists make use of histories. The subtitle was taken from the book by H.G.Wells, set a century ago in 1910, the date of Halley's Comet's last-but-one apparition. From the five themes to choose from, I chose Parallel Realities. I was able to show the dream text I had been producing along side the time lapse of myself sleeping. It was a great chance to really consider the presentation of my work, and what I wanted to convey to the viewer.
