About The Artwork
This installation is directly inspired by a journey David made through Spitalfields, an area of London that has always been on the ‘edge’, geographically and socially. It has a rich, sometimes dark history, and still retains an ‘aura’. The sculpture is constructed of steel with applied imagery, and is arranged as a two-part work that can be walked between and around, allowing the viewer to make their own journey. Walking between the two parts, one face has a mirrored surface to enable the viewer to be reflected and thus become part of the street scene. The images contained within the work have all been photographed locally but in selecting unusual angles and scale, and by juxtaposing unexpected details, the viewer is drawn into an enigmatic world. Dimensions: Two- parts each 3 metres in length, 1.25 metres high and a maximum depth of 1.1 metres Construction: The work is constructed on a steel frame with one mirror-polished stained-less steel panel. The remaining ‘image’ panels are made of di-bond aluminium directly printed at 70 dpi using a digital inkjet system. The work has further layers of a u-v filter and protective lacquer applied.
