Edition of 50, signed and numbered.  Each piece includes eight hand-knit cigarettes and an ashtray.

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.
