Peter Ainsworth

Some interesting projects on Peter Ainsworth's site http://www.peterainsworth.co.uk/ His work deals with found objects in a fresh and interesting way. He says of his work,
"I have been working with gallery professionals; art handling technicians, conservators and registrars. Within the photographs exhibited, art handling technicians are asked to perform in the landscape as if they were in a gallery space, treating detritus as they would a work art. The technicians are depicted mapping an object; a stuffed bird found on a bank of the Thames at Crayford Ness, documenting it so that it could be re-installed within a gallery space, carefully wrapping the object for transportation."
