Bottom Drawers.

These are some pictures i took at an exhibition by Carl Clerkin called bottom drawers in Ealing. Carl took us down there on a big red bus to have a look around and gave us a chat about the background of the exhibition. I have to say that it was a really beautifully thought out, and thought provoking exhibition. The gallery area was filled with photographs/ close up snap shots of all the people who contributed to the exhibit- most being Carl's friends and family. It was a look into peoples homes and how people live, and a look at how "stuff" makes a home. All the contributors had also made pieces for the exhibit. of furniture and products- some of which are included above.

The whole exhibition was so beautifully delivered and there was a real honesty about the whole thing. There was also two films being shown one about hoarders which was pretty horrifying and sad, and also a more light hearted one of Carl's families "red spaghetti" cook off- which i stole the recipe for and tried and it is good. It really had me thinking about it afterwards and left me feeling really comforted in some ways because it was a insightful and charming look at how people live.

Thanks Carl.
