19 October to 12 November 2010 Brent Artists Resource in collaboration with Sarah Harris, the curator, is proud to present the group show: Favourite Things. “These are a few of my favourite things”. Everyone knows the song from the “Sound of Music” and we all have our “favourite things”. Among these could be an object such as a memento from a holiday, a gift from a loved one or a picture. It could be an aspect of nature such as a particular flower, tree or landscape or a certain type of weather. It could be a certain kind of food of drink. It could be a general aspect of our life we especially value such as work, a hobby, activity or talent we have, something we do every day such as the first cup of tea in the morning, a radio or TV programme. A favourite thing could also be something more intangible such as friendship, family life, certain qualities we value in people such as integrity, warmth or humour. Lastly, it could be a certain system of beliefs or moral values, which guide our lives. Kimberley Leah Harding: Cast perfume bottles, empty lipstick containers and drug bottle containers. This selection of objects relates to her recently deceased grandmother. Sarah Baker: Favourite scenes in Devon where she lives. Leila Bibizadeh: save Me Before its Too Late. I am passionate about wildlife and through my animal portraiture hope to celebrate every animal’s unique quality. The black rhino is an endangered species. Nadia Burns: These images show how people occupying civic spaces, absent of a personality, individualise these spaces. Andrew Moore: These are 2 photos showing favourite things belonging to me and my younger sister. I want the work to explore the theme of sentimentality and the fickle nature of these “favourite things”. Tigz Rice: These photos combine two of my favourite things – roses and photography. There is something so fascinating about a perfect rose. Lorenz Widmaier: These are photos of favourite objects I have found in the flats of various friends. Yasmine Boulestin: These 2 paintings depict a port and a ship. I like ports and ships as they remind me of travelling which is one of my favourite things. Constance Slaughter: Good Morning. Smell the Coffee. Here I wanted to evoke two all-important everyday pleasures: the powerful, delicious smell of coffee brewing and sipping that coffee while drawing or writing. Charles McLaren: Heavens. This is showing the heavens opening to a secret path. Majestic Bull. This explores the beauty of the bull who is one of my favourite creatures. Dave Corcoran: Tomatoes fresh and bottled. I like the contrast both visually and culinarily of fresh tomatoes and sundry bottled tomatoes in oil. Painting Materials. These are the tools and materials of the trade. Michelle Theodotou: These photos are inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It was one of my favourite books when I was growing up. Sally Shephard: Coffee Plantation Spider. This is one of my favourite creepy crawlies! Child’s Hand What child doesn’t like sweets and chocolate! Mary Pritchard: Straight to the Heart. The natural world is a source of great wonder, joy and inspiration for me and some of the natural objects I collect remind me of places I have been. Two other important ‘favourite things’: family and photography are also depicted in this piece.
