If You See Kay
date : 2005size : 31” x 23”
medium : giclée.
notes : With the turning of the new millennium, the sleeping giant awoke, only to find the same old images were still roaming the landscapes of the imagination like cultural dinosaurs. After a thousand year slumber, he rubbed his eyes several times in disbelief. Then declared cultural guerilla war on Mammon and her offspring…
comment : “The title comes from a Memphis Slim tune; the sentiment comes from NOW!”.

date : 2006size : 2” x 1½”
medium : print and collage.

comment : “I'd been working on these matchboxes for months, then a London gallerist, who shall remain nameless, threatened to steal the idea from me; I do hope that he was merely exercising his sense of humour”.

comment : “I like Indiana's colour effect, but can't go with the hippy platitude; of its' time, yes, but wheeling it out for editions every 5 years is very tedious, and not my idea of 21st Century art”.

It’s also like a David Lynch film; at a glance, it’s the Beatles, but look closer, and there’s something a bit darker going-on. One panel for each of the pre-fab five …”.
