Fiona Banner’s Harrier and Jaguar

I suppose the ‘ethics’ of her art preclude an answer to what happened to the perspex -cable and sundry other metals that were not turned into aluminium ingots!

I’m not very sentimental when it comes to metal but looking at those ingots. It’s as if someone killed those aircraft. Such a contrast from what they were.
But then if someone wanted them they wouldn’t be in that state. Can’t save em all I guess.

I expressed an interest in the Jag cockpit (although it wasn’t complete internally):(

But is it art………….?

No, someone wanted at least one of them. She was determined to complete her “art” project.

Such a shame 🙁
