Spare room: spare house. Van Gogh and David Cameron compared.

This was inspired by protest against the Bedroom Tax. I thought of Van Gogh, preparing his spare room for the visit of Gauguin, Van Gogh being a person who was all his life subsidised by his brother but produced work thousands enjoy. I compared this with David Cameron, rich enough to have two houses but imposing a tax to prevent the poor from having a spare room in subsidised housing. I am working on research for a Bedroom Tax participatory project to be shown at Redruth cmr artist led gallery space April 2015.
