Scope and Contents
In Phillips' book Works and Text (1992), he indicates that this print (page 135) was ...put together with images of implied anger and violence; principally a cigarette-packet scarred with magnificant and furious drawing; done perhaps by someone driven to miniature and confined brutality as he (or she) waited for that feared and/or needed telephone call... On a more celebratory note I have used the letters ER from a piece of graffeti saying in full 'we are the bovver boys, dave and fred' as a reminder that this portfolio was finished in the Jubilee year." This print constitutes one of six prints from walking 1/2 mile around Phillips' studio. - it is based on the belief that there are no dull walks, only dull walkers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
