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*…

hi michael

yep, i take my time with them.
the first one (twenty-four) began mid last year and i would return to it every now and then and work on it a little bit.
the others were added in the intervening months.
more should follow.
