D Day 70

National and local archives and interviews with Veterans and civilians about their memories of events building up to D Day informed the final piece. Attention to detail was a key aspect of this piece, both in the use of my box making skills in the manufacture of the individual landing craft elements, but also with the historic detail etched on and through the surface. Some details were clearly defined, whilst others were more faded and worn to convey raw and unforgiving aspects of the event.
