Adam spent about half an hour explaining pieces to me, I asked him about 1 and then he told me about loads. Really interesting, i could listen to the bloke for hours. He was saying about 'the deep end' He was trying to draw someone apprehensive. He said its a big challenge to do it just with body lines which is the challenge he set himself which is why that image has no face, because the image doesnt need it (and the reflection of the face in the water is just staples). If you look at the figure it looks as if he is trying to push himself in, but at the same time he is pulling himself back, there is a conflict, he wants to take the plunge but something, maybe fear, is stopping him. In my opinion you can totally see it

in the bigger picture, the figure has had a piece of card removed and returned to the head, so its as if the man has been labotomised, which is how people are who watch 14 hours of TV a day. Also the torso is oversized to what any human body would be, Adam explained that is how you feel when you have been slouching infront of the tele for a couple of hours. He didnt realise the words in the gold leaf would be lost but all of the prints were 70% of the original sizes

just thought i would share a couple of them with you, some of the explanations were really interesting

interesting stuff Verbal - cheers

did u talk about 'cold war continues' it seems at least to me to be fairly straightforward...f*cked up* relationships, others being controlled and so on - be interested to know what Adam intended
