The Art of Remembrance

Product Information

Making, travelling, teaching and writing is a juggling act, which when combined with building work at home, meant my own stash of materials was in storage and inaccessible and space was at a premium. One important moment that happens every year on Remembrance Day is a two-minute silence. Held at 11:00 a.m. on the 11 November, the silence takes place across the country. Many TV channels and radio stations ask audience members to join them in holding a silence.
