Dave Farnham

Born: London, 1979Lives & Works: London"David Farnham explores, in his photos, familiar toy soldiers who appear to have actually participated in warfare. Staged to show the physical evidence of battle with explosive debris on the soldiers bodies and at their feet, and dramatically lighted, the work brings focus to the minutiae of war that is normally lost on those of us who consume it only through newspapers or TV."- Sarah Elson (Curator)
