This weekend I went to the Jubilee Gallery at Westminster Abbey. I went there with the intention of seeing the royal effigies. I also really wanted to see Queen Elizabeth’s effigy corset.
I was intrigued by the hinges on the joints of the wooden effigies. I also was impressed how the woodgrain was used so eloquently to match the contours of the body.
I’m planning to make some collages tomorrow to assess my artifacts.
