Beano One Zero (Nought, Nil, Nothing)

Beano One Zero (Nought, Nil, Nothing), 2017.

NB: Photo not scan.

A colourfully arranged square of 3cm high ones and zeros cut from advertising and lifestyle magazines.

An aside: Part of the name for this work ‘Beano’ (the British children’s comic) derives from my days working in print advertising where my friend Tony (RIP) and I would see how many different typefaces we could use in a ‘3 x 1’ (3 centimetres deep, 1 newspaper column wide), in the small ads.
