Re: new work - television


Hi Rich
These are great.
Maybe it's my digitally corrupted attention span but I
wanted *more* :)
Actually you probably spent quite a long time on each
one?- your process sounds pretty labour intensive
-it's funny how this would be in the nature of things
& natural if they were in oils, but the digitisation
makes one impatient.
It'd be interesting to see them done in paint -or
perhaps this is missing the point & we should
reconfigure our expectations of how much pixels can be
*worked*...
