Canon 06

Product description

I had a leather strap made for this flattened tin can.  The poem on the wall is my tribute to Man Ray -

David Archer lives and works in the north of England, where he was born, and for the best part of fifty years has been active in creating surrealist works.

The series of works for this exhibition are found objects, assisted readymades, toys, commonplace items, junk etc.  He frees them from 'normal perception, and finds enchantment and unusual destinies from their once mundane history, into an alternative and poetic history.

A shift. An entering into the 'marvellous'.
