Here it is installed in @asylumstudiosuk - suspended from the ceiling with green plastic chains. Part of the inspiration for this was having visited the Cold War Museum @benwatersaviationsociety and seen the pilot uniforms, sometimes in silver, with pipes and hoses for breathing and oxygen.

Image 2: Reverse of 'Floral Interception' suspended in the gallery at Asylum Studios. #bentwaters #airbase #decomissionedairbase #pilotuniform #militaryinspiration #bannerart #bannerpaintings
