Glass goblet - 'Acho ellen Bremblens', 1971

David Peace
The title of this work is composed of three elements with significance for the artist: Acho is an informal slang word used in parts of Spain that comes from the  shortening the word 'muchacho' (boy); Ellen was the name of a friend of Peace's who lived in Bremblens, a village on Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
