With Home Improvements Millie Burton presents an observation of domestic waste in the context of environmental crisis. Every weekend consumers queue up at recycling centres around the UK to dump items they once queued to acquire. In most cases it’s not that these objects have ceased to function, just that they have fallen out of step with their owners’ aspirations; the Trinitron replaced by a plasma, the “champagne” bathroom suite swapped for something more estate-agent friendly. Desire quickly turns to disappointment and these once state-of-the-art objects make the cycle from showroom to dump in a matter of years. Yet, while the emotional durability of such products may be short-lived, their physical robustness means they will languish in landfill for centuries to come. Huddled together in their multiplying numbers, these disowned televisions, sinks, fridges and washing machines are surreal monuments to the fickle tastes of the market and ominous portents of an unsustainable future. Individually they tell another story, their stickers and stains revealing clues to former existences in households they once served.

‘Incandescence’ by Maeve Berry
Printing and Perspex Reverse Mounting by Spectrum.
Tuesday 29th July until 5th September 2009.
Incandescence is a series of images capturing the human body’s final moments in the material world.
Maeve Berry confronts the taboos surrounding death imagery in modern society and fills the void that exists in the modern art gallery with regard to the representation of death. She explores this visual void, demystifying and stripping back all material trappings - bones laid bare to reveal beauty in the thing that we fear the most. She affords death portraits a place in the art gallery amongst other images in the progression of life.
The exhibition will take place at Diemar Noble Photography, 66/67 Wells Street, London W1 (nearest tube: Oxford Circus). Opening times: 10am to 6pm, Tuesday to Saturday.
