My migration panels onto vintage maps are now back from the framers and looking good. Its always hard to tell how successful a piece of work is when its been right under your nose for a while, so its good to get things out of the studio for a while and see them with a fresh eye again.

The finished installation will consist of these two panels on a left hand wall as you enter the hide, and then the four pieces made from vintage luggage (see last post) on a longer wall around the corner, fixed opposite the viewing slots that look out over the lake - echoing the openings in the hide wall and offering another viewing experience.

I’ll add some photos of it all together once I’ve installed it all on Wed/Thurs. Its been a long and challenging process but a really interesting and enjoyable one too, from site visits, to research and reading, meeting staff, working with local children, sourcing the right pieces from junk-shops and online and then bringing it all together in a way that I hope speaks of journeys in time and across continents.
