YOU CAN’T REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
A FRANK EXCHANGE OF OPINIONS
Tempus Fugit [as featured on the cover of this section] works as a metaphor in that the mollusc - not known for its speed - has fossilised with the inexorable passage of time. This could be viewed as a devastating commentary on the NHS for example.
Frank, as usual, sees it much more literally and wants to know why I am still “waffling on” about a fossil I found only a few weeks ago on a beach in Wales? And they wonder what separates us from the apes?
Unfortunately, circumstances also dictate that I have to prostitute my art by letting it suffer the ignominy of adaptation to “the commercial requirements of the market”. It can now be found being used as storage for wine coasters.
