As a little light relief in the ongoing horrorshow that is 21st century existence, the Slowly Downward Manufactory is pleased to present a new screen print entitled 'pure fantasy', a representation of a modified polar bear on a melting ice floe in a red sea.
I originally made this delightful tableau at the start of the century; the opening night, as it were, of the ongoing parade of psychotic derangement that we presume to call 'normal life'. Oh well. Never mind, never mind, as I used to say back then.
So, once upon a time I printed this out on a sheet of paper, cut it out, folded it up and carried it around in my back pocket for a while. It found itself glued into a sketchbook, and stayed there in those dark pages of that closed volume - until a couple of years ago, when I was excavating my archives for the digital exhibition KID A MNESIA; where, oddly enough, it forms a sort of monumental dénouement for the entire experience.
Now it finds yet another incarnation as a print; and, do note, we have carefully preserved every aspect of vintage inkjet printing, hasty scissor-work and repeated folding.
An edition of 166 screen prints. 460mm x 420mm, approx. (Unsharpened pencil for scale)
