“This is the Modern World”

(Paul Weller has always sat in the background.) One of my jobs as an artist is to make sense of the world by organizing and structuring the images that I collect. This book, the so-called world or alphabet book, is one way of doing that. There are of course many other organizational devices (and many other images that I could have chosen), but the structure of the alphabet, as essential and basic as language, grounds the project in the world of libraries and encyclopedias.
