Coronanation

Coronanation is a collage created for the 2024 Encyclopaedia of Great British Collage exhibition at Northlight gallery. It is constructed from antique royal souvenir memorabilia dating back as far as the reign of Queen Victoria and old encyclopaedia pages. Members of the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha are here represented as a plague of coronavirus molecules drifting over members of the (unelected) British House of Lords.
