George VII

In the same area outside the Victoria Rooms is the statue of King George VII -

 

The side panel is a good opportunity for a projection - In looking for a comedic, interpretive image.  For example George VII was a heavy smoker and suffered from bronchitis before his death, so something smoking related?  He was also responsible for the military reform after the Boer Wars, and making peace with a lot of Europe, hence the title 'the peacemaker'


The skeleton relaxing, sitting back smoking is a peaceful action - this type of image would benefit with a caption/title, even as simple as 'Edward the peacemaker'.  I'd also like to create a 3D illusion, like the skeleton is sitting inside the plinth.

I think the process of finding a suitable statue/monument and reading into the background for a series of images to place will work - I realise I will have to create a lot of these to have a good selection at the end.

Better get cracking with Idea's
