Stage Two comprises in the destruction of my wall drawings, enabling them to never be marketed as the measurements can no longer be made, and the hanging of a collector’s item over them.

Continuing with development: I liked how all the previous wall drawings looked together; my subconscious working up again. May develop this later.These two pieces stemmed from the cel idea.
