William Mackrell's 'North South' analyses the dialogue between English regions. In Mackrell's words, 'I left the North, I travelled South... I left the South, I travelled North...'
The artist's journey thus results in a confrontation, which is both conceptual and physical.
'The North South divide gets settled by a shouting match. Cues: Hair length facial hair, level of buttoning going on with the shirt. Check shirt. More confrontational eye contact, check.'
