Greg Daville - artists and curator

project funding 2005

As a practicing artist, my work is idea led. 'Urbicide' was one of the first projects I undertook that was entirely photographically based. I took photographs and digitally manipulated them.

The grant I received from the Juliet Gomperts Trust enabled me to print this new work to a high professional standard. Prior to this I had little experience of the logistical and financial demands of such an undertaking. As a result of the award I was able to present an exhibition of the work on a scale and of a quality that previously I had only dreamed.

The images are highly detailed and printed to A0 scale. The exhibition was a great success. The process of producing the work in this way made me more aware of the importance of the equipment and the role of the printers who execute the final pieces. I am now much more informed and confident in the entire creative process my work goes through before it is hung. The grant has therefore been a huge help both educationally as well as creatively.
