Dr Lakra at Kate MacGarry

9 June – 15 July
I didn’t find Dr Lakra’s tattooed objects not disturbing enough. I sort of felt that the embellished images should start to bleed, in a similar way to how shrines (often in India) have apparently started to produce blood, or is it milk? It was almost like looking at a collection of anthropological specimens, or outsider art. It was also too clean. I wanted more mess and goo.
