James Unsworth
The Monster From Hell
Nov 16 - Dec 9, 2007

Modern folk humour and Transgression.

James' images show a world where shit eating greedy scumbags; elderly transsexual page three models, faded glamour and popular culture all share the same space.

He draws from historical images of folk culture and the popular press. Also from contemporary references including the tabloid press and his own documentation of transgressive behaviour.

Within these images the artist questions current ideas of taste, beauty, attraction, highness and lowness.
