What a great morning I had helping Sophie. We unwrapped some work and were amazed at the quality of her father’s work. Both the breadboards and collages were such an interesting balance of colour and shape. The breadboards have a timeless quality about them. Each piece is charming by itself, but when grouped together as a set, they are even more impressive. I look forward very much to our next session.

Another irony cannot go unmentioned – the structure of the paintings on the breadboard is very geometric, controlled and repetitive. But Dad never demonstrated these characteristics in his unorthodox method of slicing bread! To obtain a simple slice of bread, he held the loaf upside down in his right hand and proceeded to saw horizontally with his left hand, while turning the bread quickly with his right, with rather jagged and almost flamboyant arm movements. But it produced a good result nevertheless – method in his madness I guess
