Are You Sitting Comfortably?

30 April until 18 May 2009

PV: 29 April, 7 - 9pm

Are you sitting comfortably? explores the notion of personal comfort zones. For Spinks, controls are sought in many areas of life to bring order and perceived freedom in a chaotic world. What price does society pay for such restrictive measures, and how much freedom must be sacrificed in the process? Still Burning is produced in reaction to the implementation of the smoking ban in London. Hundreds of cigarette butts, normally discarded and dirty, are transformed into objects that are somehow adorable, even collectible.
