There is a certain glory of expression which gives to the page - with its colours, forms and ethical significance - a true reflection of life. It is an art which portrays thought and action in one movement, as if the thought had already come and gone invisible within it: the double measure from which one learns but also enjoys. There is no art in anything which does not simultaneously produce these to reactions in the viewer. To learn alone is arid. To enjoy alone is ethically impure.... Allan Sillitoe This new edition of the Song of Songs contains eight images in a more figural style. The English text has been taken from the King James I Authorised Version, 1611. The images are etched and printed by the artist in Sepia brown. The hebrew text and English translation are printed in silk screen in forty colours.
