I'm not the only person interested in bones. This is called 'Untitled Monument' and is by Jodie Carey and I saw it at the Anticipation exhibition in the basement of Selfridges - a new venture, I think in collaboration with Saatchi. It's made of plaster, wire and sugar paste icing and took 9 months to make. She must have to construct it anew each time she shows it. My 'bones' piece for RNOH has moved miles away from its original inspiration in bones - so much so, that perhaps it has become untraceable (though I know). Whereas a giant 'wedding cake' of obvious bones gives you pause for thought.
