She had numerous T.V sets where she had hollowed them out and made them into small individual galleries and I was lucky enough to get the chance to do one. <br /><br />Since all my work is usually 2D I liked the idea of doing something more 3 dimensional. My idea is based on classic childrens T.V programs made with stop motion animation eg Bagpus, The Clangers, The Herbs etc. Except with more of an adult theme, hence the drinking and smoking mice.<br />The exhibition was held in an abandoned primary school in Manchester<br /><br />With thanks to Nancy for setting the whole thing up, Daniel for helping me make the set and Nicole for helping me with materials.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/Sx-SNMlQXSI/AAAAAAAAAP4/EbjOrolThk0/s1600-h/10838_184706615935_505970935_3461293_5328407_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/Sx-SNMlQXSI/AAAAAAAAAP4/EbjOrolThk0/s320/10838_184706615935_505970935_3461293_5328407_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413206032536067362" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3968527424316004318-877164385575990688?l=laurenbeard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lauren Beardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00526189894026807089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968527424316004318.post-30395155462129193852009-08-05T04:43:00.000-07:002009-08-05T04:51:05.627-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/SnlyHRkrD9I/AAAAAAAAAPw/5zlW2Cop7kY/s1600-h/Hectorcolour2printed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/SnlyHRkrD9I/AAAAAAAAAPw/5zlW2Cop7kY/s320/Hectorcolour2printed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366445900290527186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/Snlw1DbVgVI/AAAAAAAAAPo/gzUGV2cfbI4/s1600-h/Hectorcolour1printed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/Snlw1DbVgVI/AAAAAAAAAPo/gzUGV2cfbI4/s320/Hectorcolour1printed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366444487743996242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/SnlwuXZcxSI/AAAAAAAAAPg/iGCHisfd94s/s1600-h/Hectorcolour3printed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l7Awv6AAzks/SnlwuXZcxSI/AAAAAAAAAPg/iGCHisfd94s/s320/Hectorcolour3printed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366444372845708578" /></a><br /><br /><br />Some samples I did for a publisher but in the end they weren't quite what they were looking for.
