I have revisited
Golden Train and taken large, highly detailed photographs of model
people travelling on the train. The passengers in the images replace
the video elements of the previous installation. These photographs
powerfully evoke ideas of travel, migration and the sharing of
cultural wealth and potential.
On occasion
I've been asked if Golden Train could work anywhere other than
the place it was designed for. The answer is 'yes', I think it
is sometimes possible to relocate some of the elements of a site-specific
piece. Here the train is still the aspect that draws the spectator
to the work but this time the people are on the train. I feel
the Golden Train could travel to new destinations, cross cultural
borders and be loaded for new environments
