Writing about art

I'm one of the six writers taking part in a collaboration between the Writers' Guild and the artists' licensing body DACS on 2nd July at the Kowalsky Gallery in London.

I went to the private view a couple of weeks ago to select an artwork to write a short piece about and initially found the possibilities a little overwhelming. Almost any artwork could invite some kind of response, and I was also tempted to reflect on the rather heady atmosphere of wine, canapes and everyone talking very animatedly with their backs to the pictures.

In the end I went on instinct. This lightbox by Phil Ashcroft, Where You Go, I Go Too, just kept catching my eye.

I'll keep my response to it under wraps for the moment but will post it here after the event.
