Toward Dedham

By Jake Francis 2019
Set to be displayed in '6by4' at Thorpe Market Church, Norfolk on October 18th – 20th 2019. Appropriating the chocolate box imagery of idylic countryside artist John Constable, 'Toward Dedham' (2019) rearranges the familiar tropes to that of Alan Kurdi, a notable 'casualty' of the migrant crisis and its press related coverage.
