‘shakin that ass’

as the words reverberate around my brain i have a lovely lasting memory of a past student, ‘the guru’, who dealt with so many health and mental issues was a delight to be with. as i had set up a car washing project as part of the young enterprise scheme, he was the ‘go to’ member in the team. polishing the same part of the car, over and over again – even when it was being washed! repeating ‘i got you baby shaking that ass’ as he did so. a pure memory….

part of the pure series that explores short phrases or sentences. they are simple to look at, yet they can hide a complex process of colour choices, positioning and relationship to the text. there’s a saying that a picture paints a thousand words, but sometimes a phrase or a selection of words can raise questions or take you on a journey. it all depends on the words used and what order they are placed. It’s an adventure creating vivid images from my weirdly fascinating mind, which is not always pure!
