statement

The Both Sides Now drawings derive from a chance purchase from Oxfam Cambridge of a book of Psychic Photographs. I felt that whatever the provenance of the images I liked very much the period and early photographic qualities of them. I was taken with the matter of fact combination of the material and immaterial and felt that charcoal was asuitable medium for evoking this.
