West Coast Desert Highway

OPENS FRIDAY 1 OCTOBER BETWEEN 6 AND 9PM.
CONTINUES MONDAY TO SATURDAY 11AM TO 5PM BETWEEN 2 OCTOBER AND FRIDAY 26 NOVEMBER 2004.

Zakee Shariff launches the new Homespun exhibition series with West Coast Desert Highway at the London Printworks Trust’s gallery. The exhibition features a collection of images taken from a journey Zakee made earlier this year along the Californian highway. On one continual piece of cloth she maps the entire journey through a series of printed drawings, bringing us the highs and lows, experiences, dreams and scenic views of the contemporary traveller, forming a hybrid emotional travelogue. The work will be shown at driving level, so that we can share in Zakee’s journey as if we were in the car with her, looking out of the same windows.

West Coast Desert Highway coincides with the release of a book published by Day 14, provisionally titled Your Name in Lights about the people and places Zakee has encountered over the last eight years of her design career.

Homespun is funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.
