Yesterday the sun shine was on my side as I added the last coat of paint to my plinth for Mr Equines scales, so now just a last check of the transparencies and it is ready, along with two paintings to wrap to make it along for the Saturday hanging.

I am really excited to be showing in this exhibition which deals with our relationships to commodities and trade, I have had some sneak previews of other works on show which look  fantastic.

My work is concerned with the hidden and exposed  narratives of slavery and how they were bound up with  progressive changes in our society and some late developments in the British legal system related to abolition.  They ask questions about whose stories get heard in culture and  historical dialogues....  How at times artists have preserved stories: Turner and his depiction of the Zong massacre....
