FLUFFY TOWN

There was once Alpha House, its sketch-Club, and all around a big city full of sky scraped by concrete and glass, and in between, other 'itch-hickers' taking over galleries and the street! I'm going down, down, down, down... to Fluffy Town!

Profile Week4 @ Gaffa


Opening night drinks @ gaffa
THursday 1st of February 6-8pm
 
:::PROFILE WEEK: Edition 4:::
 
gaffa's 4th profile week features artists from a diverse
range of backgrounds. From Darren Wigley's striking
abstractive photography concerning
"Control, accidents and visual contamination"
 
,to the touching and transient work of Ravi Prasad, 
'Love Letters'
left randomly around the city
for passers by to read.
 
"It was an invitation to consider, for a moment, that a person, like 
me,
could exist in the world. That someone out there was prepared to write
love letters for someone else, for free."
 
Claude Jones(invite image)exhibits drawing and objects using imagery,
simultaneously alien and familiar, confronts the audience through the
combination of what is recognizable to the human anatomy and what is
fantasy.
 
"My imagery centers on the re-visioning of the human body in an age of
increasingly visible and accessible biotechnology and cosmetic surgery
practices."
 
 
Also not to be missed, work by contemporary fashion jeweller Jasmine 
Laing
- 'Play-Me' de-conconstructed and then reconstructed guitar components 
by
Jessica Paige - 'Bonds, mutations and mechanisms' by Cecile Kym crafted
from resin and silver, reminiscent of human bone structures.
 
Plenty of food for thought
