Sara Preisler Gallery presents Lauren van Helmond – How much is that doggy in the window?
“For this exhibition she has created a series of playful dogs made from discarded paint and biscuit tins. Each dog is unique and is fabricated by cutting the sheet tin, forming the shapes, soldering the seams, and then painting with enamel paints.
To accompany the dogs, Lauren has also designed and illustrated a picture book about the invention of Bird’s Custard. This humorous book tells the story of how a man’s love for his newly wedded wife set him on a journey which ultimately made him his fortune.”
This exhibition runs from 4th August – 30th September 2012 at the Sara Preisler Gallery & Shop, Custard Factory.
