The Last Straw
Category: I
Year: 2018
Location: Folkestone, Kent
Artist: Thurle Wright
I was given this book by the librarian during the Turn-the-Page Artists' Book Fair. Daunted at first because I usually work with more literary/adult books. But on opening, and reading it with my 8 yr old, realised the energy and humour of the 'boy world' language was crying out to be played with. And so I made a peep hole into the layered linguistic world of a typical reader. Also like the connections with time, growing, learning. Above all: fun!
