Like Railway Lines

As part of the research for my painting ‘Young Lives’ (1993) I gave my three children and seven nephews and nieces a large brown envelope each. This was  to collect any ephemera that came their way over a sixth month period.

I represented each child by a symbol for DNA and used Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends to move the information about. Rather like on railway lines.

You can see all this on my latest posts for Instagram, Bluesky and Facebook.
