‘Human Remains uncovers new work from Helen Ashton (aka Pat Lunch) and Fredrix Vermin.
Taking inspiration from the detritus of South East London, Ashton displays drawings depicting the late-night convenience landscape of Lewisham, while Vermin recontextualises fast food packaging as self portraits and shopping trolleys scavenged by cover of night as luxury items.
Where there’s muck there’s brass.
Out of a shared interest in the left behind and neglected corners, or edge lands of their environment, the artists present familiar everyday sights redefined as subjects worthy of attention.’
Press Release - Pat Lunch
After collaborating for over a decade and working on various projects including
The Readers, The Dumb Bell & The House of Parakeet, Pat and myself returned to Art Hub Gallery, Deptford. A place where we cut our artistic teeth and have organised many group shows. The building is due to be demolished in 2024 and replaced with shiney new flats.
It felt important to return one last time and celebrate what we’ve achived here and acknowledge those that have been an important part of it.
The work I included is made from discarded, stolen and neglected materials that manifest as ‘self portraits’.
The shape of a person can usually be found by what remains after they’re cut out of the image.
This show came at a moment of greif and loss, and a point of real questioning in my life. Peicing myself together again, realising my gender, sexuality and my place in the external world, along with all the privelidges and challenges these things can bring.
2nd – 4th June
Opening Event 2nd June 6-9pm
