MONSTER
Taking art out of the gallery and into the wilds, MONSTER, will be an art experience to remember. As with Giles Walker’s impressive ‘Last Supper’, recently exhibited at The London Science Museum, MONSTER will be a kinetic installation but, this time, of intense proportions.
We need your support to help this artist build a totally relevant and immersive sculpture installation incorporating large scale animatronic figures and furniture choreographed into something resembling mechanical theatre.
