Nine London based artists consider commonly accepted notions of desire. 

Through the transformation of commonplace objects or familiar everyday sights, the artists self-consciously offer an alternative view, which heightens readings concerned with aspiration and desire.

Often using the same aesthetic language as the popular culture they are appropriating, the works re-evaluate the validity of socially constructed ideals.

By manipulating the context, expected meanings are shifted and at times, dissolved.  This allows the viewer to engage in the works on a more personal level, using their own store of references and past experiences to make sense of the works.
