After Nicki left, I watched the monitor for a while. Of course I knew most of the images quite well, but some of them I had completely forgotten about. A few I hardly recognised at all. This was funny to me. I have created so many, in a creative flow over the last year - 2,000 and counting - that it is hard for me to mental keep track of them all. Some of them are like wild beasts and they escape the pen in the night. Only to pop up unexpected and surprise me later.
The image above I did today in a cafe in the QVB before heading off to a poker game in the city. I enjoyed making it. They are all my friends, really. Each picture a new game, a fresh discovery, an experiment, visual play.
Visitors on opening night asked me ' 'How do you think them all up?' Well, of course, there really is no thinking involved. It's just about looking and playing around with pictures, shapes, colours and concepts. I'm a conduit. Good job if you can get it. I'd do it for free! Hey wait on - I pretty much do!
