Tracey, who is from Chorlton, has drawn on her contacts in the world of restoration to put together a team of freelancers to begin the work of carefully stripping off the mosaic once a scaffold has been erected.<\/p>\n
She said they hope to start work next week removing the tiles in “manageable sections”, and slowly lowering them into crates.<\/p>\n
When dividing the sections, “we have to ensure we’re not going to make a division line through an angel’s face”, she said, highlighing the meticulous planning required.<\/p>\n
But the pressures of the demolition schedule mean the restoration team have a deadline of 24 August, meaning there is a possibility not all the mosaics will be saved.<\/p>\n
Chris Heath, who is the managing director at Cube Homes said the firm were working collaboratively with Tracey and others to “find a solution to the logistical challenges around the mosaic removal”.<\/p>\n
The developer said it had committed “funds and time to remove this mosaic as efficiently and as safely as possible so that the development can proceed”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tracey, who is from Chorlton, has drawn on her contacts in the world of restoration to put together…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-70953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
