'Last'

"Paul Arden, The Legend lives on in the fifth show of unconventional photography and fine art by young photographers and designers at the Arden & Anstruther Gallery in Petworth. It will be the last show Kingston will exhibit at the gallery before its closure in September 2011. It also coincides with the launch of a book which celebrates Kingston's relationship with Paul Arden and his gallery from 2006-2011 and Paul's influence as a teacher and thinker on the work produced in the five extraordinary shows Kingston has held there, Strong Stuff 2006 Unphotography 2007 Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite 2009 Stolen 2010 and LAST 2011.

Working with Rosie Ferris, we wanted to show the significance of these ordinary looking houses by contrasting a mundane looking photograph with a shocking caption. We discovered that people currently live in the last two properties and were interested in the sense of normality that is apparent in and around these locations.

Thank you to Toni Arden for all your hard work
