David Sherry: Dead Dog on a Fire

Edited by Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt


This book is the first major compilation of Sherry's prolific output of drawings and written commentaries. The originally Northern Irish, now Glasgow-based artist covers both the quietly familiar traits and the bleak extremes of the 'new modern' human condition. His works celebrate irregularity and are drenched in black humour.

Dead Dog on a Fire was compiled by David Sherry during a Network North residency at NIFCA, Suomenlinna. This is the second in a series of new publications published by NIFCA as part of Network North. You can also view Trust, a video work by David Sherry online at http://ionic.nifca.org

"I wanted this book to be full of life. From these snapshots I hope to convey a fuller sense of living, through and beyond the situations presented".
