How did you make this work:
As part of the wider Breaking the News exhibition at the British Library and forming a section entitled Encountering News I wanted to create an engaging artwork that takes the viewer on a journey across time, encouraging them to explore the connections between encounters people have had with the news over the last 500 years, highlighting the comparisons and contrasts between those centuries apart.
