Abstract
Contribution to the exhibition Green Making Materials Objects shown at The Levinsky Gallery, Plymouth, UK July 2024
Customised Corgi Heinkel BMW Bubble Car
I love this object because it reminds me of my brother and his eccentric, unique and creative outlook on life. He painstakingly and creatively transformed a mass-produced object of childhood, probably when he was about 9 years old.
It is for me now a kind of memorial, a remembrance of a time passed long ago. It’s been over thirty years since he died. It currently sits on my windowsill, alongside its twelve other siblings, and has accompanied me most of my life, from London, to Bexhill, Brighton, Chicago, Leeds, Manchester, and Plymouth.
