Hi Nic, Is this an illustration you did for a magazine in the mid 90's? (maybe The Face) I'm sure I remember it. Put me out of my misery please.

James, how you doing? Yup, its years old, 'Dazed' in 2000. I was inspired by Mr Collins image recycling!

Ah yes - in 'Dazed', thanks. I loved (and still do)this illustration - a very strong composition on the page with the flat layering quality of screenprint. I made a screenprint at college about 'Ham' the first Hominid launched into space. I love the fact that chimps had this experience before man. I'm well thanks, training to teach primary. Still in London.

Just thinking about this piece again, it’s a Ukon— an un-icon. To be accepted as an icon this would have to be ‘in tradition’, and it is so not; not theologically and not aesthetically. There is no place for the intersubjective within iconography. This is a visual statement of my faith, then and now. It should be read as an icon, but tradition just throws out an ‘error 404’ on it— no place.
This is why I think it’s a waste of time (even tinkering with) the vernacular of icons.
