Today is the Tomorrow You Were Promised Yesterday. 1976

This image boasts a typically British street scene. Alongside the image is a poetic verse which speaks of an exotic idyll, conflicting with the drudgery of the image. It amplifies the dashing hopes, forgotten dreams and social and political injustices of a beleaguered nation. The bitter title, directly addressing the viewer, underscores the message. He focuses his work on the nature of representation. While out deriving i grew to like these scenes which i have documented in a similar way to Burgin. I plan to research further into this.

This is a series of observational drawings. Not sure if this is really outside the white cube. Well, I guess the googlemap is and the drawings were made on location. There are lots drawn on plastic bags! The exhibition was in a pub. "The act of drawing quickly focused our attention on the flow of people through the area, and for me more specifically, the forest of signs that control this movement; directing, dictating, and tempting."
