Having got the room painted and ready, I realised the importance of selecting the right work to be hung. I’ve already decided that everything that is going into the show, has to have a relevance to the conflict in Syria.
As I’ve begun to lay out the work in various combinations against the walls, it’s become apparent, how important the sequence of the paintings is, with regards to the overall narrative I’m trying to convey.
Placine Obam and Cameron, facing in on victims of the conflict, seems like an appropriate way to emphasise that narrative.
