An East Belfast artist has spent the past 10 years collecting old flags, bunting and iconography for his new exhibition that's due to open this week.
John Baucher's new exhibition 'Worship the Last Thread as a Relic' has been over a decade in the making as he has scoured the east of the city collecting the remnants of old flags that he has found then repurposing them to create a series of artwork that explores identity, loss, remembrance and respect.
John was inspired to start the project after seeing a flag near his home slowly decay over time on a lamppost, until one day he found a corner of it and its eyelet lying at the base of the lamppost.
