All Your Dogs Are Dead. Shona Davies and Dave Monaghan.

About

All Your Dogs Are Dead Shona Davies and Dave Monaghan represented OCCUPY MY TIME GALLERY at the London Art Fair in January 2013 we are delighted to present their solo show ‘All Your Dogs Are Dead' in the gallery this April 2013. Davies & Monaghan are interested in exploiting the sense of unease generated through distorted perspective and aim to create a sense of disquiet by positioning the viewer as an illicit voyeur, peering at scenes through various manipulated viewpoints and warped perspectives. They create miniature worlds into which are woven some form of narrative, working with animation and 3-D installations. They are particularly interested in exploring conflicting themes of integrity and betrayal, power and powerlessness, memory and loss, and notions of truth and morality.
