Tabula Rasa.

cross square

Acrylic, Biro

8 x 5.5 inches

2003

My very good friend Emma Storton told me that Tabula Rasa is Latin for ‘Blank Tablet’ (slate), from which we derive ‘Blank Canvas’. I was impressed with this new knowledge so I wrote it on the then empty page. I went home inspired by my new phrase and put these two images on the blank pages, making them no longer blank, making it difficult to determine what I was thinking when I thought it would fit the title. I didn’t really grasp that one did I.
