TONI GALLAGHER
Hypothetical collaboration with the wonderful Christo

Brief set by David Mach RA

The location Trafalgar Square

what would Christo do, incorporating the essence of a modern master in something
I can call my own
public art for a historic public gathering space. trafalgar square
reach for the sky, no holds barred, dream big
ideas swim like fish in the sea on a sunday
when you know you know, idea resolute
close to capturing a storm
oh, to stand next to napoleon, side by side and hear his adventures
the city I love, a unique perspective
could it be done,
once reimagined with a practical eye
clad in a living breathing organism that screams life
