EFRAGMENTS

Stories and Art work

Stories

These pieces are in varying states of completeness. Some are more fragmentary than others. My aim is to build up a collection of fragments that combine in their own, unplanned way. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. It is interesting to see how they build up and take on a life of their own. Let me know what you think.

But what an overwhelming lesson to all artists! Be not afraid of absurdity; do not shrink from the fantastic. Within a dilemma, choose the most unheard-of, the most dangerous solution. Be brave, be brave. From "The Deluge at Norderney" in Seven Gothic Tales, by Isak Dinesen.

These designs were inspired by Ranko Bon, with whom I worked for many years. His passion for cave art and his imaginitive use of the simplest forms of expression eventually rubbed off on me. I started to produce these designs on my computer using Microsoft Word (!) to have a bit of fun at Ranko's expense. But before long, I was drawn into this strange pursuit and became fascinated by the creation of different forms within a very simple framework.

As well as creating these images on the computer (now using more appropriate software, cheap and cheerful MS Paint) I have been trying out various formats for printing them. My preferred form is on small cards, about the size of business cards, in sets of 32. If you would like to buy some, the first series of 32 cards is available for 3 UK pounds, plus shipping. Think of the possibilities: you can shuffle them, sort them into themes, stick them in an arrangement of your choice on your wall, mount them on a piece of card, show them to your friends, or just enjoy owning them and flicking through them when you get a quiet moment.
