Stencilgirl® January 2020 Project

By pure chance we have arrived at a part of Ben Okri’s poem that has special resonance in January, a month in which time seems to be an obsession for all of us. Time passing, time coming, we think about time a lot more in this first month of the new year and in this case also the first year of a new decade.

If you want to see my previous illustrations of Ben Okri’s words you can find them in previous posts on this blog.  I try and make each spread very differently from the previous ones to keep it interesting but of course, these pages are all art made by me and that is a reuniting and returning element. This month we have arrived at the following lines: “Time is an act of consciousness: one of the great forces of the material world".

You can find a full step by step tutorial for this spread on the Stencilgirl®Talk website today.
