Predators at the doors of innocence

CRUMPLED MILKSKIN
Jeffrey West Gallery

THE darker side of lost innocence is the subject of a new exhibition of work by controversial artist Dameon Priestly.
Under the unsettling title Crumpled Milkskin Priestly explores the history of dark deeds, Lolitaesque fantasies and the more recent phenomenon of media-fuelled moral panic in the playground.
The exhibition literature gives a flavour of what it’s about:
“Stories with a wolf but rarely a prince, that have only been told in the minds of the victims, read and reread again – tales never to see the light or destined to be recited aloud. As innocence or weakness will always be, alas, the predator will remain.”

* Crumpled Milkskin is at the Jeffrey West Gallery, 16 Piccadilly Arcade, SW1, from September 10 to December 1. 020 7499 3360
