Broom Clean

Sweeping away the remnants of a life lived?

 

Poignant, even a bit sad.

Most everything I do now seems to be elegiac.

An interesting collage. I find that broom to be of particular interest. It has such rich textures and lines. And, yes, "elegiac" seems to fit this image perfectly.

If there is anything that life has taught me in the past few years is that the world changes around you and entropy occurs whether one willingly goes along for the ride or not. Sometimes it is difficult to accept, unbearable even.

 

But big changes can and do occur, and a new chapter in one's life is written. Hopefully the book is a good one.

Oh dear Mr Hancock, are you still at it, producing beautifully crafted photos of disgusting scenes and objects? I showed your pics (on my laptop) to a man in a bar in Phnom Penh the other day. He's an art photographer, he says - takes pics of girls with no clothes on. (What is it if you take pics of girls with clothes on? Big money if you do it for Vogue). Anyway, he didn't see the point of Mr Bun. I doubt he'd see the point of this either. (Broom Clean is a rather uninspired title, I think - A Clean Sweep would be too obvious. I don't know. Seriously, it's nice to get back and see your work again, I like it, tho I think it's an acquired taste).

 

Philip.
