WALL OF SILENCE
Suddenly there’ll be silence.
It’ll be inexplicable and eerie.
As though Armageddon
is but a hair’s breath away.

I have worked with redundant Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2020 posters, destined for the shredder due to lockdown.
My “Wall of Silence” commemorates the vibrancy of each missed performance, lost opportunity, shattered dream and standing ovation, whilst representing the enforced silence of COVID 19 as a soundproofed wall.
