My ongoing association with Instigate Arts and the WonderWoman Festival continues... this year I playfully explore the temporary removal of Hylas and the Nymphs by Pre-Raphaelite painter Waterhouse from Manchester Art Gallery by artist Boyce and the curators.
The text refers to a painting of Astarte by Rossetti and the experience of reading works in a gallery context. FindersKeepers were released at the gallery and later on the streets.
Your palette enticed me
Inhaling I sank into the water
Rossetti whispered Astarte
I turned and you had gone
