NEW from The Papers Series -

"Television"
digital collage by Mick Mather

I've been working on this piece since summer. I've started and stopped and started again, trying to figure out what this piece means for me. It's part of that body of work that results from quickly tearing up newspaper scraps after clipping one article or another that I want to save. The torn pieces are scanned and then reassembled digitally. I suppose I could flesh out, so to speak, a good story about this image for you as regards ratings, fluff and the fact that men are easily distracted by the bright and shiny! In the end - if I do say so myself in Quote of the Moment in the sidebar - "Like the viewer, I too am looking for something in my own work." What I don't say is that I don't always find it ... well, I do, but sometimes it isn't satisfactory (sigh!).
