About Golden Train
This work was started in Hopkins' small studio in late 2015, where he had made it in pieces. It was later, as Hopkins
considered, completed during a residency at &model Gallery, Leeds in late 2016, where he was able to work on the
piece as a whole. Recently Hopkins has again continued work on the piece and it is now complete. The piece refers
to a news story about the transportation of refugees from Eastern Europe to Central Europe and depicts a mother and
child aboard a train. Hopkins' originally used a screenshot on his phone to make a small drawing using gold nail varnish
and in the large piece has used glitter to replace the nail varnish.
