“Life is confusing, like one day you’re the happiest person alive and tomorrow you hate everyone and everything for no logical reason”

Paper Pools is a book chronicling a very specific moment in Hockney’s creative process, a short period in 1978 when on route to California from England, he made a de-tour to Tyler Graphics studios in upstate New York, to visit friend and previous collaborator Kenneth Tyler. Here he was introduced to a new medium, the paper pulp process. This involved dyeing wet pulped rags, which were applied in various ways to recently-created and still wet paper, until they were finally fully pressed and dried; there were opportunities for the artist to manipulate the application of colour at all stages. The result was a cross between paper-making, print-making and painting.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKsrDmgOxj/?igshid=nwhkevrefif5
