Romantic London in William Blake

December 20, 2019Matthew Sangster Leave a comment

It was fun (if somewhat surreal) to see a slightly truncated version of my stitched-together version of Horwood’s Plan reproduced on a scale even larger than the paper originals on the wall of the Tate as part of the current William Blake exhibition. It was great to be able to help the curators out with this. There’s snapshot below, although this don’t really do justice to the scale.
