Book du jour

Not quite -
Tony gave me the leftover flyers from his recent exhibition and I had a go at turning them into one of the little cubic books. The sameness of the pages and the thickness and glossiness of the paper somehow isn't as congenial as the hideous variety of a newspaper. The flyers are "too good" as they are and suffer from being fragmented.

I feel the "skeletons" that are left over need something doing with them. Like these two sheets of paper that arrived in different ways one day - one in the post and the other when what I thought was a parcel delivery was actually a "missionary" -
The combination of the bank's warning about boiler room scams and "Will humans ruin this earth" makes a rather poignant "text".
