This is a large scale work on paper based on Churchman's Cigarette cards from 1939. The piece includes 6 original cards all of which are Bluey Wilkinson. The back of the card has been hand painted and over scaled. Mounted on top are another three hand painted versions of Bluey slightly smaller but still oversized. |

14 x 10 ½” No.56 Cheese Fondu |
Finally a new work on paper that is based on adverts found in 'Woman' magazines from the 60s. Unlike the earlier works on paper - see here- which were all full page ads this is one large ad and two that are smaller. They were all taken from separate magazines and chosen to create a tension that is found when disparate images are combined. This also gave me a great title in the misspelled No 56 cheese fondu |
