Returning the Relic Box

A Sunday morning drive to north London to return the Relic Box loaned to the I PACKED THIS MYSELF exhibition by artist Patrick Coleman. We've been hugely privileged to been able to show this box, packed with items from Patrick's father's life. It's inspired many and opened many people's eyes to the reality of migration.

Am sorry to say goodbye to it, but it is time that this amazing object returned to its owner and creator.

The drive is a bit of a challenge as Scotland is playing Brazil not far off. We miss the worst of the traffic, thank goodness.

A Relic Box and a swift meeting with Patrick Coleman in Haringay

A very swift meeting with artist Patrick Coleman in Haringay, as he hands over A Relic Box, a 3D scrapbook he has created in a toolbox, which belonged to his father who arrived in this country from Ireland in the early 1950s. It is going to join the exhibition, to be installed at Penair School, Truro, next week. Am so pleased that it will be part of the show - it is an incredibly powerful piece.

A swift handover because parking on his street in Haringay is impossible. So much traffic and to-ing and fro-ing.
