I don't do this normally: install new work in a space I have never visited. But last week this was the only way: Coming more or less straight from the ferry, with a stopover at the studio to prepare the sculpture and pack tools, I arrived at Sunny Bank Mills Wednesday morning. In the evening, after working on autopilot for eight hours, Vacant Space, version 2021, stood - or rather floated - in the exhibition space.
Many thanks to Court Spencer and Sunny Bank Mills. I look forward to visiting the exhibition, seeing the other artists' work - and assessing what I have actually done.
Just after installation. Vacant Space is 170cm wide
