On a Clear Day 08

Product description

The backdrop of nuclear rain, more than a passing shower, is an index of books of knowledge.

A tragic irony.

The quote is from "An introduction to metaphysics" my Martin Heidegger.  America wanted a clear day for photography.

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'.
