ABOUT
Dave Bond is a British artist preoccupied with the trivial, the imagined, the quaint and the absurd. He loves insignificant detail, ridiculous spectacle, obsessive behaviours and pointless collections. He constantly worries about how little time he has but essentially wastes most of it, as this website clearly demonstrates.
FEATURED PROJECTS
An installation consisting of a slide projector showing my continuing collection of 35mm slides taken of playground slides.
A continuing series of paintings using chance to randomly select the subject matter from a list of 3000 possibilities.
A sculpture combining Plato’s Theory of Forms as a solution to the problem of universals and my love of baked beans.
