Hugging for the English is a group exhibition located at the Substation in Margate.
The exhibition transcends the boundary between the viewer and the art work to the extent that without the viewer, much of the work would remain incomplete.
Many of the works and events have been inspired by various different influences from within the town itself. Whilst it is situated in present day Margate, the nostalgic past is not forgotten.

Untitled, 2007
Investigating notions of touch and bodily movement the work is simple and subtle alluding to the space between the body and the world. The movements of the body have an effect on the work and there is a bodily worldly exchange.
Dan Davies

Untitled, 2007
My work is a combination of a slow, intense and painful process combined with a fun and childlike media. This method is saturated throughout all my personal practice resulting in a collection of work that appears very different but is in fact a variation on a theme. The aim of the work is to overwhelm the viewer, for then to recognise how things are made. The viewer will initially see the work as a fun and playful piece, however looking closer at it they will see the time and precision of the painful process that produced it.
