Overview
Our local council recently announced their monthly collection. Duly, we
put out the rotting backyard furniture and cupboard clogging mess that
has fuzzied up the feng shui of our house for too long. Before the
trucks even arrived, half of the trash we'd left on the curb had
disappeared, only to be treasured by a new owner. So, 'tis true, one
man's trash is another man's etc. None seem to be more aware of this
than artist Chris Town.
His new exhibition, The Daily Detritus,
will present the artist's creative interpretations of his own diaries,
combining his experiences in spectacularly evocative collages of words,
objects and multimedia. Town claims to always include a 'found' object
in each of his works, meaning that each dramatic piece is its own
treasure. Take time to journey through Town's exhibition and feel the
provocation of his urban inspired art.
