Oil on canvas

Lenkiewicz laboured on Project 17 – Observations on Local Education for five years, producing 150 finished paintings of more than twice as many sitters, including pedagogic radicals, teaching professionals, educational bureaucrats, school governors, and schoolchildren. The accompanying 2-volume publication contained 400 pages of ‘observations’ written by these sitters.

This painting was destroyed in June 2012 in a fire at the property of the collector who owned it.
