War Room
After having to cancel a spring trip to The Smoke due to the dreaded virus we finally managed a couple of nights down there last week - thankfully before the exceptionally high temperatures of these last two days.
A packed couple of days included a visit to Tate Britain to see the Cornelia Parker immersive installation exhibition.
This image was taken of the War Room installation. Invited to make a piece about the First World War she visited the poppy factory at Richmond which has been making them since 1922. The red paper hanging from the roof and down the walls is the residue after the poppies have been punched out, which she felt were poignant in that the absent poppies were symbolic of those who never returned home. Thought provoking and moving, this was just one of the works in what proved to be a fabulous exhibition, and which remains open until mid-October.
