SOME OF THESE DAYS YOU'LL MISS ME HONEY

“A few seconds more and the Negress will sing. It seems inevitable, so strong is the necessity of this music: nothing can interrupt it, nothing which comes from this time in which the world has fallen; it will stop by itself, as if by order. If I love this beautiful voice it is especially because of that: it is neither for its fulness nor its sadness, rather because it is the event for which so many notes have been preparing, from so far away, dying that it might be born. " from 'Nausea' John Paul Sartre..

those who have read the first instalments of..

the 'artist in residence'..

will know that Nausea was the book..

our artist was reading..

on the train to liverpool..

to deliver his painting..

to the john moores painting prize in 1969..
