One of 84 new hand-stitched collages, made for my recent exhibition at the Barbican Library in London. I used discarded magazines and the book ‘Civilisation’ by Kenneth Clark. First published by John Murray/BBC in 1969, this edition printed in 1971. Bought for 50p from a charity shop.
That’s the book to accompany the ancient TV series, responsible for my questionable early art education (didn’t include female artists). I turned each page (along with old museum magazines, and the like) into a collage.
‘Rousseau at Bienne (engraving)’.
