The first of these collages and the source of the idea for the series: The picture of George Russell (AE) fell together on my bench with the postcard of the (French) actress.. And I thought of the quote from Anthony Cronin's "Dead As Doornails": (it's actually Balzac): 'One of the few consolations of genius is the attention of beautiful intelligent women'.
An acquaintance of mine, a lovely bright and interesting picture editor, was blown off the top of this bus in Tavistock Square in 2005. It gave me a licence and need to look closely at what was going on: Before; Tony Blair was being spoken of as potentially under War Crimes charges, after; he introduced what he called himself 'draconian legislation'.
