The Future Is Papier Mâché
Richard I am amazed how many layers you are creating in this work! I need to look and look again and again to see new forms and shapes each time. It is like you frame filters of time over a base. Very intriguing and beautiful in its sensitivity and transparency. Wow (I could have started with just ‘wow’)
Thanks so much, Chris. I love the idea of framing filters of time over a base – beautiful image. I’m really glad you like these and that they are doing something. Thanks!
They really do work for me! And for others too I might say
That’s so good to read. Thanks!
This is just brilliant Richard, I love what you have done here, looks amazing. I know I say this every time, but I love these abstract images that you do.
Thanks so much, Leanne. I’m really glad you like them and I love hearing it. Thanks.
Each layer has it’s own story to tell and all make one amazing composition. Excellent, Richard! 🙂
Thanks so much, Marina! 🙂
I like how there is not a single whole item; the frame containing only part of each within it, the remainder invisible to the viewer
Ha, ha, yes, I broke everything!
Mysterious!
Yes, indeed. Thanks, Steven.
🙂

beautiful mysterious abstract, everything is in suggestion… the more I look, the more details I find…
Thanks very much, Alexandra – yes, it’s interesting what comes out of these.
I agree with Chris, Leanne, Alexandra and the others. Fantastic image. I like the bent over position of the old man with the glasses, the scrolls of paper (?) and the touch of paint.
Thanks very much, Cardinal – that’s a great compliment and I’m really glad you like it.
Love it. Great conception.
Really glad you like it, John. Thanks very much.
Just love the new direction your work has taken– so rich and deep in images.
Really glad you like it, Ellen -i’m enjoying stretching out – it seems like it was a long time coming.
Hi Richard, took me a few seconds to spot the figure hidden behind the glass, very spooky, and striking, love this series.
Thanks very much, Cheryl. Really glad you like it.
They just get better and better, great layering going on here, leaves a bit of a sinister edge to it. Superb!
Thanks so much, Leon – really glad you like it! Much appreciated.
A fabulous maze of hidden perception.
Thanks so much, Patti. I like the idea of hidden perception – it’s got that thing to it – the fuzziness where things start to happen.
A nice collision of layers in this, Richard. I’m intrigued by the ‘AY INE’ sign in the background, though! Where was it taken?
Thanks very much, Richard. One of the shots (the one with the sign in it) was taken on Shaftsbury Avenue.
Cool… Still no idea what AY INE means, though, lol…
Me neither – think that’s an L before the AY – I’ll have to go back and have a look, ha, ha.
Love the title, once again.
This shot looks a bit derelict – and then you spot those shiny shoes.
Ha, yes, you can’t go wrong with Reginald Perrin.
Yes, I thought that too – I think it’s one of the side effects of combining dark textures with unusual postures.
Your image-title combinations are brilliant.
Thanks very much, Lynn. I’ve been interested in text and image combinations since a day in 1985 when I was taught by Peter Kennard.
A time travel in layers. Terrific.
What a great phrase – very interesting idea, and food for thought. Thanks very much, Elena.
ciao! just the best…excellent.

Thanks so much!
Intriguing series – love how we’re drawn into the layers to uncover the story.
Thanks very much – really glad you like it. More to come.
