Whilst sitting in my studio trying to envision what my degree show will actually look like I came up with the idea to build a vardo, fully painted and traditionally decorated, then destroyed. This idea mirrors the sense of loss and the death of cultural traditions.
The first wild thought that entered my head was that of Cornelia Parker's 'Cold Dark Matter'... Yes, i actually thought about blowing my work up.
Her works where she flattens objects are also interesting and sparked a thought that I had dismissed about flat pack furniture vardos.
Then, whilst doing some research I came across these images from the Dale Farm eviction.
and thought, why don't I BURN IT?!
