'Hello my old talismanic. Talcum Dust.
Atticcrawler shoelicker
The southern window, the stain: black iron curled into the sun
Mudtreched rainbow moonbow
Motheric
This carved wooden heart
Oh Save us, this
Tweeden scarapus loomed upon my shoulders Together
aching in the ended ended the ended ended black lace stapled together
Geranium chopped botched and folklorals and laurels an english wet
Entering my vestry bested
Sassafras saffron steeping. Waiting my hot return.
Dranked drunked fill in up my bootseses
The other reaches over the lintel
Santel burning charred wood nostrils.'

Matty Bovan filmed and shot his new collection amongst the historic splendour of Burton Agnes Hall in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a magnificent example of Elizabethan architecture, built in 1598 by Sir Henry Griffith, its architecture attributed to Robert Smythson, Master Mason to Queen Elizabeth I.
An impressive art collection encompasses pieces from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Realist schools with Old Masters, 19th and 20th century French and English paintings by Augustus John, Corot, Courbet, Derain, Pissarro, Utrillo, Boudin, Matisse, Renoir, Gauguin and Manet, as well as Epstein bronzes, Chinese porcelain, and Georgian furniture.
The ghost of Katherine (Anne) Griffith, who died at Burton Agnes Hall in 1620, is reputed to have haunted the Queen’s State Bedroom, just one of many interior locations Matty Bovan had access to.
Every February, thousands of hardy snowdrops push through the cold winter ground to create a magnificent ‘white carpet’ across the surrounding woodland floor.
