1.   This is George Redmond and I’s collaborative ‘Word’. Using some plastic fencing as a grid and a few kilometers of red wool we have made this 4m long by 1m wide installation. The alleyway it is installed in is itself a hell and using that idea we have created our word to reinforce the associations attached to the space. The installation gives the feeling of being enclosed to any one walking under it and allows the viewer to look up from ‘hell’ through the holes in the word to the sky above (Heaven). We chose wool as our thread as it has a texture we thought would add depth to the work and would hang and sway easily from the work itself.
