Thanks for your thoughts. The choice of material was important to me. I see it as a blending of influences: ideas non-influence and influence. I see the childhood works as a way of adding in the things I do without considering the impact on society or conforming to expectations (largely exploratory work), while the newspapers and magazines are ideas that are more processed. They're all still works in progress as part of my MPhil. But coming along. :) Thanks for taking the time to comment.

It's odd:  some time when I look at an image lines will pop into my head.  In this case it was Joan Armatrading singing "What do the boys dream?  What do the boys all dream of?"

I love the fact that you are using the collecting unconsciousness of children's creativity!

Collage in progress. Made with newspaper and torn children's discarded paintings. Collage on painted canvas. A part of an exhibition about narrative of self.
