I drove up to Belfast today to see Locky Morris's retrospective exhibition: this then in the Golden Thread Gallery.

I first saw his work twenty years ago on the walls of The Well Fed Cafe in The Dublin Resource Centre- painted dust bin lids and cardboard land rovers, in either 89 or 90. I saw more the following year on a trip to London in either The Tate or The Whitechapel. It wasn't like anything anyone else was doing. I was in Derry on a theatre gig in 91 and lots of people were talking about him. I thought he had given up art for music and because I'm so out of touch with the Irish Art scene I missed his exhibitionat Mother's Tank Station in May.

But seeing those cardboard land rovers and bin lids was like travelling back in time to a time when I was actually excited about art.

It's okay with me
These are small pieces about 30 x 30 coms. This is based on the last scene in "The long Goodbye" movie by Robert Altman. I was going to add a 3D figure but thought better of it.
Happy People In the Sun
This was meant to have some figures in it sitting on top of the column but they never got made
