this project may well form part of a show at..................last year i made an installation at vinyl "exchange entitled " urban palimpcest " which comprised some 400 small images based on street art.......this year i am playing with the idea of possible record sleeves........using old 45s...and Lps....from my collection....which goes back to the 60s........mixing the covers with posters torn from walls..........layers of time and events.......here are a few exampl;es so far....
its interesting playing around with record sleeves....juxtaposing one with another....some are related others are not.........chance encounters of images throw up possibilities....how to include sound in this work.....
