Imaginary Friends Exhibition
‘Imaginary Friends’ – Tom ‘Inkfetish’ Blackford
Running from October 18th to 21st at Blackall Studios in East London, ’Imaginary Friends’ is the début solo show of Tom ‘Inkfetish’ Blackford.
Imaginary Friends explores the mythologies of childhood, transporting celebrated archetypes of youth into a surreal adult world. Placing a veil of dark humour over icons of innocence makes Blackford’s début an unmissable journey into a twisted world of strangely familiar characters.
