Notes
Shown RCA Degree Show 1980; Gallery 52, 1981; 'OzPop' AGWA,1992. "One of my most successful prints it is included in many public and private collections It was a document of the times in London in 1980 made during my numerous trips to the post office. I was also interested in the registration spots used in the printing process that are of mixing lithographic plates with' etching, and with paper stretching in size when it was wet, I became obsessed with registration spots.This print was then a way of paying respect to registration spots and also to the print so that it could be torn up and used as a 'souvenir'. The gritty realism of the times was introduced...".
