Darren Banks, I'm sure if there were a monster in the midlands we would have seen it on the telly, 2011

Arts festival FLOW, explores the journey of water through the county of Northamptonshire. As part of FLOW, Fishmarket gallery with Darren Banks present 'Backwater.'Banks has constructed a breakwater from furniture, familial treasures and museum loaned artefacts. The dialogue between objects, their surroundings and off-kilter placement is a recurring fascination for Banks whose love of nostalgia and horror movies has led him to build every higher, more ambitious and precarious structures from the mundane detritus of suburbia. Accompanying the main sculpture is a video montage, film screening and specially commissioned text pieces.
