Inside is My Dog Sighs’ most ambitious project to date, transforming a derelict ballroom into an immersive world inhabited by the artist’s own creatures, dubbed his ‘Quiet Little Voices’.

Like us, these creatures are not perfect nor are their lives perfect. They struggle, they make mistakes, they fail. But like us too, they don’t give up. Even among the decay they use their creativity to find hope – a powerful message in these turbulent times.

Street artists are often perceived as ghosts, with only the results of their endeavours visible to the world.  My Dog Sighs takes these creatures, that started life as scribbled doodles in the margins of his sketchbooks and uses them to represent different facets of his life. Replacing himself with these beings as a representation of his inner ‘Quiet Little Voices’, they embody a range of emotions from playful to melancholic. 

Alongside the installation, My Dog Sighs will be releasing a feature length documentary and book about the project, as well as an educational pack designed to be used by teachers and students around the world. Taking inspiration from Inside, the pack provides young people with the creative tools needed to find hope in difficult situations and shows how they can use art to empower their local communities. 

Tickets are available at My Dog Sighs’ website www.mydogsighs.co.uk. Follow him on Facebook or Instagram for more updates.
