It was extremely interesting spending the day observing the interactions and body language of potential collectors/buyers and the average fair goer- I'm just looking, I'm not buying, I'm just looking, keeps me smiling...
Bob Billington's work (below) was very popular and regularly drew the intrigue of passers by who all approached the work in the same manner- moving close to the surface and then craning their heads round the edge of the work which was displayed raised, as if floating, on the wall.
Susan Michie's work also received a lot of attention, the tiny circles meticulously drawn over 14 sheets of paper (7 of which BITR were showing) appear like a translation of Michie's subconscious. It was not surprising to see people mesmerised by the patterns, moving very close to the surface of the drawings. The marks flow as they form accidental areas of density which from afar build up line.
