That summer, me and a mate had gone to a river-side nature trail that had temporary sculptures scattered throughout by local artists. One of the sculptures had hundreds of strips of acetate hanging off it, each with the word ‘impermanence’ printed repeatedly down it’s length. A mile further down the river I looked down and found one in the water, clinging to a rock. I recognised the immense improbability of this discovery and took it as a sign that I should take the strip and use it. This picture was already half sketched out in my book at home, now it had a way to be finished and a title that was better than any I’d have thought of myself.
