On Sunday 4 November 2007 the artist tarred and feathered his body with honey and crows feathers. He then cleansed his body by lying in a natural spring for a total of 60 minutes, with long time friend & collaborator Garreth Fradgley documenting the process on video. The work was completed in 2008 and is installed for exhibition purposes as a large-scale immersive environment (each screen approx 400cm x 280cm)
