Finally Landy said sometimes the works were made for the donor's own private devotion and sometimes they were painted for confraternities who are a catholic clan who help others. The group did acts of kindness like helping the plague victims. This strangely links with my final major project because i am doing it on the black plague. As I said their is always a connection!
In the show you have works that will be gradually defaced and even self destruct? yes they are going to be framed and glazed. you can do all sorts to things with drawings and collages that could never make as sculpture. These were where my ideas originally came from.
I am ment to take body parts from the paintings in the gallery and put them together. Saints were dug up and different churches took bits away, exhibited them and made them into reliquaries. They then become an attraction for pilgrims and tourist, perhaps that what I am doing for the National gallery with my own fragments of the saints.
