A renowned street artist has created an installation inside a derelict ballroom with the aim of creating beauty out of lost and forgotten spaces.
My Dog Sighs has become renowned in Southsea for his series of loveable characters and realistic eye murals, which have appeared on buildings across the Hampshire seaside city and around the world.
But now the former teacher has spent 18 months converting a semi-derelict hotel ballroom at the Queen’s Hotel in Southsea into an installation bringing his characters to life.
Artist My Dog Sighs looks around his ‘Inside’ exhibition, which aims to replace his role in the artwork with ghost-like beings that he calls the ‘Quiet Little Voices’ (Andrew Matthews/PA)
