Here’s my third and final version of Not at Clifford Chance. For the first time I’ve used one set of images but then split them four-ways to increase complexity and disjuncture without making them so busy they undermine the sculpture […]
I’ve had a rubbish week. And unusually for me, I’m not going to tell you why, as this isn’t really the right place for such discussion. One day I might, but not now. But… What I will say is, when […]
