Description:
‘The Russell Hobbs toaster in the kitchen…a package holiday in Greece where Elton John’s Greatest Hits is playing on a 48 hour continuum…the façade of gently blowing suburban curtains with familiar secrets and discontents. This work explores the liminal hypertext of ‘Slice of Life’ realism, a place of dream, escapism or desire within an underlining theme of financial restriction and emotional release. The politics of music, economics and tourism are subject to a multi-layered critique.’
