Hew Locke & London Underground
Practically everyone living in London is dependant on the Underground. It's as much a bane as it is a necessity and forms as big a part in a Lononder's lexicon as the weather.
As part of the Art on the Underground series the artist Hew Locke (a Selvedge favourite) has used a kind of 'all seeing eye' within a carnival and tube map -esque mask to play with ideas such as big brother, a talisman and the life of the city itself.
