I spent my last summer at Wimbledon making this. The box in the foreground was full of pieces of a dismembered body gift wrapped. The paper contains my own EEG and ECG. I got them done at a hospital thanks to Dr. Andrew Sutton. Hanging from the structure at the back were transparent sheets upon which were little marks that, if all put together made the image of three IRA men in masks. Also a copy of an old letter I found which said 'Darling, till tomorrow. I can hardly believe it, can you? Love, Betty.' It dated around 1918.

I set the piece up in the main foyer so it was just there when everyone returned for the new academic year.

 

  

I suppose this was the first serious piece I made, it was concerned with ideas of manufactured personality and also what's concealed and revealed.

More on this piece

Before the end of the second year I made a piece using large cut-outs of myself an interesting effort at the time.
