STAIRWELL PROJECT, Richard Wright, Dean Gallery, Edinburgh.
This is what I mean, no one looks up. Even I didn't this time. It takes there being a 'work of art' up there to notice the light, the architecture, the sky, the windows. This is the masterpiece of the gallery. The marks are like thousands of little birds flying around our heads.
Not only do his tiny little flowers bring the traditional architecture of the stairwell into a contemporary artistic context, they emote a historical atmosphere relating to the buildings' original use as an orphanage. Furthermore, they draw attention to the galleries greatest artwork; the windows and the natural world behind the panes of glass.
Follow the dancing flowers and look what's above.
I watched you for hours.
