Beim nächsten Mal wird alles besser



Collages and drawings of Thatcher’s 1980's Britain.
Inspired by seeing a photograph of a woman hugging the statue of Marx and Engels and images of the Midlands. 

Beim nächsten Mal wird alles besser 
was written under the statue - next time it will all be better. 




Images from the rioting in the Early 80's 




Composition - Thatchers Britain - c1983


Theatrical back drop 
 I used this image as the back drop to  a production of  Teachers in the early 90's
