Another great photoshoot with photographer David Chalmers. Really pleased with these images of The Death of Sainsbury's, The Death of a Species and The Death of Munrow, collectively known as A Trilogy of Death... Looking forward to the next batch!
A little bit of information about this project:
THE DEATH OF MUNROW was
produced by the Staffordshire Potteries ca 1810-1830. Here is a remake
of the original Staffordshire piece plus two of my own contemporary
interpretations & companion pieces. These play with the original
elements bringing them into a modern day context... THE
DEATH OF SAINSBURY'S turns everything both metaphorically and literally
on its head commenting on the simplicity of the food chain and the
predominance of Supermarkets within it. THE
DEATH OF A SPECIES makes a simple comment regarding the over hunting
by man and subsequent extinction of three subspecies of tigers.
