A raised platform with a box shaped den made from collected window panes and materials. It has been built in the middle of the gallery space, This means it can be viewed from all angles. I believe most viewers will be able to relate to this piece in their own way. For me it brings back childhood memories of collecting scrap materials and making use of them in an imaginative way, for example building dens and hideaways.
All the materials used are well worn, and it's clearly visable that all materials have all had previous purposes. I like the clashing, recyled fabrics used to cover the doors, as you get a real sense of what the artist is trying to achieve which is the placement of scrap materials rather than a visually pleasing piece.
I viewed this piece of artwork at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery in The British Art Show 7.
