Hair Swap. Grayson Perry and Cressida Dick.
15 x 21cms.
All of my work is numbered, this piece is 856. It is a one-off. Never to be reproduced in print form.
Made from a cutting from the London Evening Standard (20.10.17), photograph by Nigel Howard, and a page from this book.
Available in my shop.
Five days of looking through a few thousand magazines, has resulted in me finding the scotch egg I knew was there somewhere.
I thought it was smaller, though. And a bit more eyes-like.
The photographer isn’t credited, so a new, hopefully easier, search will begin.
I have tweeted Heston.
Time Out London, December 22nd 2015 – January 4th 2016 (2360).
A couple of weeks ago I arrived at work to be told I wasn’t supposed to be there.
My response was to dash to the Barbican and see the Basquiat exhibition.
God, it was good. Although, I would not recommend going dressed as a gallery assistant.
The Jean-Michel (dancing at the Mudd Club, 1979), above, was taken from a leaflet acquired at the scene. Photograph by Nicholas Taylor and Dead Human Design.
His crown comes from a National Theatre leaflet advertising a new play by Rory Mullarkey entitled Saint George And The Dragon. Mr. S and I went to see it on a rare trip out together. The leaflet shows a photograph, by David Stewart, of actor John Hefferman sitting with a fry-up in the Recency Cafe . Don’t even think about sitting down before your food is ordered. You’ve been warned. The crown is cut from the curtains.
I hand-stitched Jean, and his crown, to this flimsy-as-hell paper.
All of my work is numbered. This piece is 854.
