More Details
Love is a British photographer destined to become known for his work that documents a world that never was. Inspired by some of Londonʼs grandest spaces, Loveʼs large format photographs, and vibrant portraits both confuse and console the viewer with images that are visually sumptuous and unnervingly ungrounded. These images remain ambiguous, hovering somewhere between hope and hubris. Steeped in the wonder of infinite possibility they remain aware of the inevitable and painful collapse into the actual. Jacob Love was born in 1980, and studied at University of the West of England and Goldsmiths College, University of London, where he now lectures in photography.

Still Burning by Sally Spinks
Edition of 50, signed and numbered. Each piece includes eight hand-knit cigarettes and an ashtray.
More Details
Still Burning was produced by Sally Spinks in response to the smoking ban in London: hundreds of cigarette butts discarded, a sight familiar to anyone living in the city, yet upon closer inspection it becomes clear that each one was painstakingly hand knitted. This realization transforms used cigarettes, items that are normally discarded and dirty, into objects that are adorable, even collectible. It is here that desire becomes expressed as comfort; an addictive deadly vice is reduced to a cuddly consequence. This work comes in an edition of 50. Sally Spinks is a recent Masters Graduate of Goldsmiths, University of London (2008) and her practice is dedicated to issues of control and consumerism, and their impact on the changing nature of Britain's class system. She lives and works in London.
