Whilst browsing around and as we prepare some DFW merchandise for our upcoming show Ded Reckoning at the Bristol Bienniel in September, I came across the perfect DFW jigsaw!We don't want to leave but we already have too much material to edit so it is probably for the best! Watch this space...
"I am now the last artist here - all the others are free. But all things are equal. If I stay here, then I have plenty to occupy myself. If I am released, then I will enjoy freedom. If I manage to leave for the U.S., then I will be over there. You carry your own joy with you wherever you go." Schwitter's words from the internment camp on Isle of Man.
