Matthew Bowman curated the Such Stuff exhibition, and took these rather fine shots of the static show. The Garden room at the Minories is screening the film, a 10 minute animation :
The Front room houses the static show including 6 large charcoal drawings on scrim, a room set, box installations of the props used in the film and some embossed prints :
Matthew works at Essex University and Colchester institute, we had many really interesting discussions as the project was developed, but he had a really good knack of trusting me when I needed him to. This meant that a lot of the working methods for this show were worked out as we went along. This made it a really exciting show to make.
Doug, I love your drawings on whatever, wherever, with whatever!
You ain’t bad at dancing with the brush yourself (and chisel and charcoal) … thank you for the encouragement Bill, can’t wait to work with you again.
A quick note to say many thanks for your kind words Doug! It is a lot of fun working with you, and it is especially enjoyable because you come in with possibly crazy but fresh and great ideas, which makes curating much more fun. – Matt
