I don't always work in strict page order on my Artist's Books.

Having done page 1 and 2, I'm now working on pages 6-7 together as they form a vertical double page spread.

​I figure if I know how the story ends, I'm better placed to work on how the middle connects them.

The passage of time is a classic theme in art and both this and its companion piece, Angel's Trumpet, feature clocks.  

​(You can see Angel's Trumpet here, along with the front cover for Metamorphosis further up the same page. It will help you visualise how this one will come together.)

This page has a rather melancholy feel - but, don't worry, I promise you the book has a gloriously happy ending!
