The exhibition features new commissions emerging from the artist’s research surrounding his home county of Essex, including ‘Essex Man (after Collet)” (2021) – a larger-than-life standing figure in our Welcome Area made from a hand drawn reproduction of the original ‘Essex Man’ illustration by Edward Collet in a 1990s Sunday Telegraph, and a golden, contemporary recreation of the ‘Dagenham idol’ – a wooden figure carbon dated around 2250 BC which is one of the oldest human representations found in Europe.
