I had been down to the Longden Gallery in Macclesfield to discuss my pictures for the current show and came across two small heads in ceramic by Jan Lewis-Eccleston who works out of the gallery .
They looked spooky enough to me, as if someone had just dug them up, and this gave me an idea............I asked Jan if it was ok to incorporate them into an art work and she said 'fine ', so I put together a box suggesting that a certain building had been boarded up in the early 1980's .......a couple of skulls ( and maybe the rest of the bodies ) were discovered under the cellar floor some fifteen years later . Further investigation suggested that a couple of women had gone missing in the area some thirty years earlier. Hhmmmmm......
Jan really liked the idea , so maybe we will collaborate further on a joint project or two............
" There is violence that all individuals inflict on spaces by their very presence, by their intrusion into the controlled order of architecture. Entering a building maybe a delicate act , but it violates the balance of a precisely ordered geometry " Bernard Tschumi
