Yes it’s back (after 5 months absence) and I WILL finish it eventually! I actually completed another page today and I fully intend to crack on with it. One of the problems I have been turning over is how to display these pages. I may do a slide show of them. That may solve the problem of putting lots of links to different pages. I don’t know yet, I will have to see.
page23 this tiny pocket watch image isn't part of this page...it was on the scanner!
I left off at page 23 and the installation/performance artist Mona Hatoum.
page 24 door shut
The muffled voice coming through the veil or a gag: communicating. This has become a confessional, or a secret. I bore in mind the text ‘He heard the key turn in the door’ The cut out leaves are from some paper I have. The idea to put leaves behind this door came from the opposite page (p.23) where the text refers to them –
‘Back in his own room, he wound the tape back to PLAY. Nothing for long seconds. Then a rustling like leaves, then his voice wrapped up as if he was talking through cloth.’
page 24 open door
I then threaded some beads on wire to make a ‘key’. The text at the bottom says;-
“Pop said ” We’re just going to have a little talk”
What artist am I going to link to this page? Well, it’s not going to be just one…..it’s going to be a whole movement! And it’s got to be POP!
Continued tomorrow…
