Old police station Bristol by Moose Benjamin Curtis in Benifallet

Using specialised stone cleaning equipment I cleaned through 5mm of carbon created from a hundred years of industry revealing the beautiful Portland stone that lay beneath. The piece was more like an engraving made in response to a visit to this building, once an old police station in Victorian times. The cells in the basement soaked me in the terror and abuse that must have gone on in that place and my aim was to show a release of this horrid energy, swallows synonymous with the tattoos of sailors and jailbirds are seen flying from the entrance and the "Love" and "Hate" tattoos became "Love" and "More Love". This project was featured on the BBC One Show where Phil Tufnell interviewed me about the concept behind it.
