Spirited

The completed work is now being exhibited at Tresham College, Wellingborough.

Hang ’em high

With just paperwork left to finish off, and a display card to make, it’s done. Tomorrow I’ll be sweeping the floor to lay out the sleeping bag and the feathers all ready for the opening of the show.

I’d not seen the completed image in one piece until it was placed onto the wall, I’d attached all of the segments face down with Gorilla tape. And it works, it is everything I’d planned it to be and for that I was happy.

The scale of the piece works perfectly, the image conveying the hauntological nature perfectly. It also carries off the balance I wanted to achieve between aesthetic and artistic value, it speaks powerfully of the topic and is certainly the single best piece of work I have produced to date. I’m a very proud bloke.
