My private view

2004

Working two jobs and studying full time meant I struggled to make it to as many private view showings as I would have liked to. Unfortunately the jobs were necessary to fund my life in London, but for an upcoming show I was determined to stay. Of course, I was called into work that same evening. In order to relinquish my responsibility in the situation I decided to chain myself up and not allow anyone to release me until the very end of the show. There were two keys – a reliable friend kept me chained till the end, whilst security had the other in case of emergency.
