A MOMENT OF SILENCE
echoed to the sounds of war, as each of Scarlett's paintings took the visitors on an incredible journey, which began at the danger tree, through to the moving penultimate paintings Black Poppies and The Soldier. Using Blippar to experience the collection allowed viewers to feel the full emotion of the Somme through the words of the war poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, among others, movingly expressed by leading
British actors, Sean Bean, Christopher Eccleston and Sophie Okonedo.
The Danger Tree attracted a great deal of attention during its run in Greenwich, and served the exact purpose that Scarlett intended: to remember the fallen, honour their bravery and give thanks for their sacrifice.
