Gunpowder Park London, June 2007 Following on from their massive sky drawing created for Artists Airshow 1, Anne Bean, Mark Anderson and Nick Sales were commissioned to make a large-scale pyrotechnic work which reflected the history of munitions manufacture at Gunpowder Park and launched a sky-borne sculptural mass of dense black smoke which aimed to block out the sun. “Onwards and upwards then to a lovely, unusual demonstration that proved that pyrotechnics can be as much about smoke as they are about fire. Anne Bean created a small black cloud - she gave it a name - 'Black Mass' - then let it drift off to join its natural brothers and sisters in the sky - of which there were many. This was the attempt to eclipse the sunset. There was no sun so there was no sunset and no eclipse, but it seemed suitably miraculous anyway”.
