‘The BBC’s ambitious coverage of the centenary of the Great War reaches a climax with an artwork of a soldier to be displayed in the piazza of Broadcasting House on Friday.
A vinyl duplicate of the mosaic will be displayed on the pavement outside Broadcasting House, later transferring to Salford Quays, where there will also be a projection of it on the Big Screen.
The Imperial War Museum in Salford will also include a projection as part of their events leading up to Remembrance Day.
Marshall – who also did a mosaic of the Queen for the jubilee – tells Ariel she is feeling ‘invigorated, relieved but exhausted’ upon completing her latest piece.
‘I wanted an artwork that will continue to have a life and legacy beyond its first showing this week and an artwork everyone can access from across the world online and digitally from their homes.”
