Strange Days Indeed

I received some mail with a John Lennon stamp on it a few months ago, commemorating the 40th year of his death. Yes 1980 was 40 years ago. With everything going on in this tumultuous year I kept hearing his song "Strange Days"  (Nobody Told Me) in my head. I'd been working on turning some smaller scrap watercolour paper into pages for another art journal and so this is what evolved. It's chaotic, slapdash, unrefined, and impulsive. Then words and phrases from the past three months kept popping in my head, images, anxieties, anger, sometimes a sense of impending doom, not just in the larger world but in my own world with people I know. It is at once personal and global.

And yes, that's Fred Astaire in the video, among other celebrities.
