Cut and Paste
The RMC Four Pillars Art Project extended from
September 2018 to September 2023 . This video highlights the research, interviews and collaboration I made with Faculty, Cadets, Ex Cadets and Staff at the Royal Military College. Images of my collage in progress, the studios I inhabited and the people and locations that inspired me are included.
The project culminated in The Four Pillars, a seven-by-nine-foot
cut and paste collage that chronicles the history of RMC from 1876 to 2023. The narrative shows the significance of attaining the four pillars: Military Leadership, Bilingualism, Academics and Physical Fitness. The Four Pillars and the research from the project are installed at Baronial Hall, Currie Building, RMC until mid 2025.
