A new breed of ghost train to take you to the multidimensional space inhabited by your household tools, gorgeous in their carved and pampered splendor and speaking back to you!
Old souls venture through unknown terrains bringing you along in their quest to reunite.
Submerge yourself within the incubation chamber of strangely
alive furniture.
Slumber within an infusion
of film imagery.
You will see it all through your tealeaf reading with Stella!
Ghost Train To No Souls Town is triggered by the shattering realisation that for the (often)
"less wealthy" amongst us, homes and domestic matter infused with
unique and personal spirits, are dismissed as worth nothing if the
ideological/selfish considerations of institutions and persons find this to be
profitable.
Andrew Cooper uses craft techniques such as wood carving on
objects he finds in skips and charity shops that retain a sense of the uncanny
and a history of former use. Bashed peeling paint and exposed wood reveal a
common cabal of characters he finds waiting beneath the surface wanting to
speak. These sculptures are put into environments he creates, animated in films
or used as ‘Manic-ins’ during performances.
