ARTIST’S BOOKS 2011

King of colanders, 2011, edition 7

King of colanders, Livre d'artiste,  2009-2011, book edition 7

      


The starting point for this book was a big battered colander given to me by my friends the art critics/writers Laura Gascoigne and her sister Marina Warner because they knew of my fascination with colanders. It had been their mother’s, a much used big old colander and Laura described it to me as the King of Colanders.

Pillow book for Endless nights, Livre d'Artiste,  2011, book edition 7

      



When you cannot sleep
or dream
just silently scream
      
You bite your pillow
or your tongue
and claw at crumbling walls
      
imagine the prickly, sharp,
or cutting edge
to gain a bit of peace
      
and set you free
of these endless nights like these.
