exceedingly dull

This is the poster I'm entering in the forthcoming photographic exhibition at The Ruins and the Midlands Art Centre.

Exceedingly dull, isn't it?

dull photographs no. 14 - da bread

dull photographs no. 13 - flashlight theory

dull photographs no, 12 - the big cheese

dull photographs no. 11 - watching it dry

dull photographs no. 10 - potato

dull photographs no. 9 - long grain rice

dull photographs no. 8 - the very essence

dull photographs no. 7 - door wedge

dull photographs no. 6 - ikea allen key

dull photographs no. 5 - tea for two

dull photographs no. 4 - salt and pepper

The humble cruet set - unloved and largely unseen - kept at a distance from the glittering cutlery and richly coloured crockery like an elderly and slightly embarrassing relative. But what joy its contents bring! Just imagine a world devoid of salt or pepper ...

What more fitting introduction to a series of 'Dull Photographs' than the humble sock. Gaze in boredom on this sleep-inducing gallery.
