Which Way Now 2

Commissioner
Arc, Hull City Council

Working with Hull City Council and the Shop Front initiative, Arc commissioned four artists to each have a 10-week installation in the windows of the empty shops on Whitefriargate, and using the street as a gallery to exhibit their work. I wanted my work to respond with the reason the empty spaces were there. The work is about the economic downturn, that through excessive spending we have gotten ourselves into this financial mess and I wanted to make some works that reflected this while being positive and looking at ways we can deal with it.
