Escape

By  Rich White 2009

Escape is a response to the proposed building of Europe's largest Tesco. I built a giant Tesco sign from materials found on and around the building site. The sign is sited in a disused shop-space nearby. It appears to have grown through the floor and wall, and is so big that only the letters 'ESC' from the middle of the word fit in the space.
