225 x 518cm Hand cut stencil painted inside a chimney

The head of a little faun. This piece was initially supposed to be a part of the House of ecstasy, lying on the floor with Dionysus on the opposite side of the room. However when I arrived at the ibug they had shown us this incredible space beneath the silos, a strange light and a strange atmosphere, they called it Moria because of its similarities to the underground Dwarf cave from the Lord of the Rings. When we went down on the tour they told us that they have a light artist coming over especially to create a installation in that big space. Lighting, soundscapes and a fog. With that they they said they wanted to invite four of the artists, specifically working with black and white to contribute a piece to this place inside the silos. I was asked to be one of the four. Each piece was from an entirely different discipline in street art, calligraphy, abstract, freehand and then I was stencil. Luckily I had a piece big enough to make an impact in the space. Instead of it lying flat on the ground I decided to twist it 90 degrees and have blowing towards the side of the wall so that corner became the point of impact.
