surroundedbythepast



Set out to see the Turner Prize at the Herbert Art Gallery – interesting challenge to hang process, collaborative community engaged work in a gallery and even though I wanted Black Obsidian Sound System to win Array Collective created an interesting space and set out an eerie feel. I spend several hours surrounded by the past looking at old photos, me and my best friend Gary Lewis, two weddings - my Aunt Floss and Aunt Beat, a car that my grandparents were driving when hit by a coal lorry, a now and then photo via street view and a gif of the space my house used to occupy. Meanwhile assessments are over, and Christmas is almost here.
