Nu mince / Thin Nude.

The public criticised my work 'Pink Nude' based on a drawing by Amedeo Modigliani.

Members of the public were especially shocked by her healthy, well-rounded forms. I have trawled through other nudes by Modigliani but couldn't find one single thin one.

In desperation I am turning to Marcel Duchamp in the hope that this work will be received more favourably.

1917. Old t-shirt.

This month it's a hundred years since the Russian revolution began in 1917 with toppling the tsar.

My old hammer and sickle t-shirt. I still use it ocassionally. Just noticed that the hole has the shape of a heart.
