The Smugglers Wain - opening event
Commissioned by Bournemouth Council. This was the most amazing project to have completed, the people of Kinson were completely open to my questions and involvement with their lives, from drop in sessions at St. Andrews church to presentations at the local Area Forum.
I will always be grateful to everyone who helped find this work on the urban fringe of Bournemouth.
The composition is based on that of The Hay Wain by John Constable... appropriating a defining narrative of Englishness ....
