Jody Hartley photographs the box

Official photographs today. Jody Hartley came to the Palace and shot the box properly: wide under the dome, straight on, details of the squares and the spiral.

My mum and dad came in for one of them, stood together in front of the squares, slightly formal. Of all the frames from today, that is the one.

Having work photographed well changes how you see it. In Jody's pictures the box looks like it was always meant to be there, holding the middle of that huge room on its own.
