In this painting Waygood was placed onto a domestic table-top to achieve the aim of reducing the building to a scale that allows it to be viewed as a complete form. This symbolises the necessity to "stand back" from a project, which began in 1995. It involves the consideration of an architectural form and it's context in Newcastle as; a historical object, a meeting place; a cultural venue for viewing and discussing art; and a home for an international community of artists. Wings as symbols of flight and take-off, pinpoint the present moment in time when the Waygood building, is about to begin an architectural transformation by Andras Palffy and Christian Jabornegg.

This picture was shown on the harker herald billboard throughout June 2007
