"The work was made with restrictions to make me create in a different way. There are six sets of images made from sets of 6 pages from discarded magazines, using one image as the basis for selective cutting through the whole lot, producing many interchangable parts. Each of the six images in each set were created from the parts but were compromised by the restriction that all had to say something different yet could not exist to the detriment of others; they all had to work successfully. Some sets where fairly easy to coordinate but others took days of reshuffling of the pieces. Initially the idea was to create the images to be made into sets of six containing one of each set and sell them as multiple packs, but after much work and pain that hardly seems right as others said if they are to sell for the price limit, so they will go as separate items, and I will produce concertina booklets from my images, in sets to sell for the price or under as appropriate."
