Following post a little while ago showing the start of the painting below. On waking after a rather complex and mainly worrying dream I became 'gripped' to illustrate some of the features of it. It has two names: 'We could have taken the second curve' after a book by Charles Handy (The Second Curve) in which he suggests that an intelligent and correctly functioning society would look at a point where a certain affluence and knowledge had been realised and would act on that in a sensible way - i.e let's plan for the next curve now we have enough; let's build resources and safety for the next generation. I'm obviously paraphrasing as I read the book some years ago and I'm not the best human for retaining all factual detail, but you'll probably get the notion.
The other name is 'Eat, Shop, Relax' following a post I wrote many years ago while sitting in a Ryanair waiting area and gawping at the info screen telling me to do just that. I think I drank some water, bought nothing, and felt extremely tense.
Hmm, very tricky to photograph as it's a tad long. Details below.
