I’m delighted to be able to announce that the book version of my Modern Romance project, Alone Together, Together Alone, is now available to be ordered in the US as well as from the UK. The US version is slightly different, being an inch taller (10″ x 8″ vs UK’s 10″ x 7″), with an updated introduction and bio, redressing the missing credit for my collaborator and life partner, Margaret Haggerty, without whom the project would not have been possible.
Well, at least the lamp is straight in this one, but I look like a deer caught in the headlights and that shirt just has to go! The one below has a yellowish color cast to it and we’re the wrong size compared to the one above. Nothing yet ready to add to Modern Romance.
Another attempt at an extension of Modern Romance to New York. Not quite there.
Thought I would try my hand at some more images for Modern Romance, based here in New York, rather than Farnham. A Doctor’s office makes sense for an old couple, right? However, I don’t think it really works with the series, not to mention the color problems.
In my Modern Romance project I have tried to show both the companionship and solitude of a long-term, aging couple. As I experiment with extending it, I thought of showing the couple pursuing individual pastimes. I’m not sure…
If you’re in London either of the next 2 weekends you can come see some of my new works as part of Sydenham Arts’ Artists Trail 2023. Here’s a link to their artists page (I appear in alphabetical order by my first name with full details of times and venue) and the event main page. Below are images from the series that will be presented at the show. (Unfortunately, I’ll be in the US over both weekends so I won’t be there myself.) Click on any of the pictures below to see them full-screen (you may need to click through via the post-title, above, if you’re reading this in an email or on social media).
