A Commission

This Arts & Crafts frame was designed by British architect C.F.A. Voysey. Would that we owned it! Because it would have set me back a pretty penny…or is that pence?

Now and then, the Agincourt Project actually commissions new contributions to its material culture. In this case, we happen to own four similar (but not nearly as fine) copper frames from the A&C period—two small round frames and two oval—which happen to be empty. So, since I tend to dislike the word “empty”, we asked our friend Paul Bhajjan to imagine the art that will fill them.

The idea of a theme was discussed, something to hold them together (and, frankly, make a bigger impression should they be exhibited). Perhaps “The Four Seasons” or the four Gospels. Though, at the moment, I’m leaning toward “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”.

Stay tuned.
