Sorry I haven’t been writing much recently. Helen recently got a commission to do a public artwork for Scarborough Council and I’ve been helping her do it for the last few weeks. I haven’t been enjoying it very much but the wage will go towards our trip to Cairo.
Below are some pictures.
It is called ‘Wavelengths’, and was painted (just by the two of us!) onto the hoardings in front of the Spa, obscuring the re-construction work there. Ironic, I thought, because my work is about not obscuring re-construction.
I read in an old National Geographic yesterday about the building of the pyramids. It felt a bit like doing this. Apparently the makers weren’t slaves, they were waged workers. Like me. But, like in any work you don’t want to do, if you have to do it for the money, you’re kind of a slave anyway aren’t you?
But, its finished now, thankfully. It looks really good, Helen is very talented I think, and she is pleased with how it went. So am I, I'm glad to have been a part of it to be honest. Again like the pyramid workers I guess. Its up till March so you should go see it. Me, I’m looking forward to getting back to my work now, and getting on with my ACE bid for the trip to Cairo.
