Tip of my Tongue, Toe of my Pocket.

I have some serious fondness for Orcas Paley, they stock my cards and are so friendly. You can tell they just love running their shop. So when they approached me to put a piece in their upcoming show entitled 'Vide Poche' my mind immediately started whirring.

For the exhibitions I made two mobiles; a little one called 'Tip of my Tongue' and a big one called 'Toe of my Pocket'.

I made cut-out illustrations of the kind of things that might gather at the bottom of a pocket: sweet wrappers, combs, twigs, pins, bracelets, pebbles and pencils and set them on brass rods with linen thread.

A coat pocket specifically.

They move beautifully and say something, I think; just softly though.

I loved seeing the trozzle rise slowly up off my desk, like a load of everyday objects had reached enlightenment.

The intrigue spanned the species.
