Every Day Is A Good Day. C-Type prints. 2011
This work was commissioned by the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill for inclusion in their John Cage-themed exhibition, 'A Nod to Cage', in 2011, itself running alongside an exhibition of the artist's prints entitled 'Every Day is a Good Day'. My own piece adopted the exhibition title as well as a number of procedures and processes inspired by the working methods of Cage. Each word of the title was used as the basis for an image search in an internet search engine. The resulting ten image results were then rendered semi-transparent in photo-processing software and used to create a composite image. Six composite images therefore spell out the title 'Every Day is a Good Day'. Images 2 and 6, representing the word 'Day' are necessarily identical.
