ECSTASY, ERIC GILL, 1910

20141106 Eric Gill, Ecstasy by Cosmo Wenman

I’m publishing this work as an example for my application for the Tate IK Prize 2015. My project—Tate Britain Unbound—would digitize and publish as many modern-era, public domain sculptures in Tate Britain’s collection as the project’s budget allows, along the lines of my Through A Scanner, Skulpturhalle project. This Eric Gill capture is a demonstration both of what’s feasible, and of my sincere interest in increasing access to Tate Britain’s collection.

I captured Gill’s ‘Ecstasy’ at Tate Britain in 2012, and have even cast it in bronze, but I’ve been waiting for an advantageous time to publish the data. That time is now.
