Artists such as Maggi Hambling, Peter Doig and Susie Hamilton have created works that interpret the lyrics “If I only could, I’d make a deal with God” from Kate Bush's hit ”Running up that hill”.
The purpose of the project ”Sound & Vision” is to collect money for the charity organization War Child which goes to children affected by armed conflicts around the world.
When she announced the project, Kate Bush said:
All wars leave terrible scars; destroyed lives, divided families, life-changing injuries, trauma and loss on a massive scale – but it is the children who suffer the most in so many ways. Their past, present and future merge into fear and uncertainty.
The works will be auctioned online 28 October–13 November, with starting bids of 100 pounds, and will be exhibited at Iconic Images Gallery in London 4–8 November.
