I rearranged yesterday in booklet form. I mastered the past and made it new. The old newspapers, found in the Kentish Town Oxfam shop, entranced me...their textures...folds...creases and, of course, the news they carried. But I had no time for reading the articles. Instead, there was an idea to explore so I set about choosing parts, some random, some with obvious potential. I collaged, cut up text, enlarged images etc until I felt I could do no more. The potential in the pages was endless but I know from experience to go with the flow of a project, keep going until exhausted (not having exhausted every idea). What I chose and why is a matter for the subjective 'I'. The idea was not to linger on one page for too long in an attempt to make it a stand-alone piece of art but to create a compendium of images, the whole being greater, perhaps, than the individual pages.
It was made primarily for my own pleasure, but since it was going to the printers anyway I had a few more copies done in case anyone wanted to buy one. Here are the details. The price includes P&P.
