MARGIE MACKINNON<br />
“I was surprised at what a moving experience<br />
it was. This project has been months in the<br />
making, so while this was the first moment of<br />
the restoration, it was not the first moment of<br />
the project. Watching the painting coming down,<br />
your heart is in your mouth… because you are<br />
desperate that nothing is going to go wrong. Now<br />
that I see the canvas and can stand in front of<br />
it, what really excites me is knowing how many<br />
people are going to get to see this painting up<br />
close. When the conservation is finished, it will<br />
go back onto the ceiling where it lives, but during<br />
the time it is being restored and exhibited, people<br />
are going to have such a wonderful opportunity<br />
to see and appreciate this amazing work.”<br />
