Richard Wilson - Slipstream

Richard Wilson has just unveiled Slipstream, a piece that will fill the new Terminal 2 at Heathrow.
"Imagine filling the vast void with clay. Now imagine a a stunt plane moving through this mass of clay, somersaulting, spiralling, twisting and climbing. The spinning plane would create a void to be filled with fast setting plaster. When hard, imagine the hall excavated of all clay to leave a suspended plaster form."
Regular readers will know my love of Wilsons work, but I am less convinced by this at first glance. One thing is for sure, you are not going to miss it, so everyone will be able to judge for themselves at the end of 2013, when T2 opens for business.
