a wonderful surprise on a fine afternoon cycling along the thames path from greenwich to charlton with the family and richard wilson's "a slice of reality" was not only open (i.e. accessible with a proper ladder) but the artist was present and happily talking about his work, life on the river and the rather wild story behind his piece.
ever since the oil room at saatchi gallery we've been smitten by wilson's work - yet another piece that totally appealed to our 'forbidden fruit' syndrom - to touch when you know you musn't, to feel the suspension of want, coupled with a great sense for industrial ghosts...
nice to find out that wilson is an incredibly friendly man who happily talks to people just by chance bumping into his art....
