Window Shopping
by johnbaxter on Aug.14, 2009, under Project 2 Window Shopping
Wandering the retail world,
Shops, streets, malls.
Coming across cool,
Seeing and being seen.
Using up leisure.
Searching for pleasure.
Meeting friends, lovers, rivals
Prowling alone.
The temples of consumption beckon,
Feeding dreaming, triggering imagining.
Alluringly the windows link
Longing with what’s on sale.
Plate glass protects, enhancing,
Raising status, hyping “value”.
“Look! Don’t touch. For that you must
Come inside.”
Plate glass reflects, shimmering.
What we see is not just the theatre behind
But the surface – caught and thrown back,
Flickering, changing as we pass.
Plate glass reveals the mannequins,
Aloof, androgynous, alien,
Outragous, seductive.
Motionless they pose, caught in some high drama
Oblivious of the moving, living throng.
Haughtily they project Sex,
Aspiration, Status, Recognition,
The keys to acceptance by any group we envy,
Promising a passport to happiness, success, real style
Provided that
We Buy.

Digital Art Prints
by johnbaxter on Aug.12, 2009, under Digital Art Prints
For years now I have been fascinated by what digital imaging allows you to do. The way one can manipulate and combine raw shots to create new images is fascinating. The process can be quick, but more often I find it is the result of several attempts and many wipes. Some images taken years earlier come back to haunt and combined with others or changed considerably they can end up very different from how they started. I also find myself constantly on the lookout for images that may work in combination with different textures such as trees, wood, stones and sky.
All of these are available as A4 size prints on matt art paper using long lasting pgment inks. Each image is then mounted in a two inch deep bevelled mount ready for framing 12″x16″. This is signed and posted to you for £20 inclusive of postage for UK orders. Each print is restricted to an edition of 20 copies. To order email name address and phone-number and I will email confirmation and my address for payment.
