The collage above is a version of an original piece which featured typed text. This is it...
Whilst it was interesting to type alongside image and I was quite please with the results I thought it needed more. Images and type are no stranger to me. It's fair to say I'm obsessed with both. Well, images? Naturally. But also text. You may have noticed.
I'm tempted to say that most image-makers are also avid readers but that ain't necessarily so, is it? I was mistaken in thinking that most readers would be interested in art, as I found out during an exhibition in the basement of Waterstones book shop, when more book-lovers wanted to know where the toilets were than took an interest in the pictures on the wall. People, eh?
There's a third version of With Open Eyes, which I'm saving for a book of printed work which I hope to have finished by the end of the year. That will be the third book I've made in 2020. Yes, thank you. Between raging over the lockdown, then cultural mask-ism, amazingly, I've found the willpower to keep on creating. The obvious point to make is that, yes, all that 'creating' probably saved me from jumping into the Thames, but then, I could say that about any year.
Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances, I hope you have found ways to stay sane during these insane times.
