Pet Galerie Press, UK To understand what someone or something is like and to know how to deal with them. Number thirty-four in a series. Traditional English sayings that have had importance in my life, and been said by people who matter (to me). My Nan used this phrase. I spent a lot of time in her company as a small child. She used to let me loose in her ‘bits and pieces’ drawers of haberdashery. I enjoyed arranging the unusual items I found: in sizes, colours and shapes etc. I had a special fondness for her tape measures. They were beautiful, made in pastel shades of green, yellow, blue and pink. We spent lots of time together. She was always laughing; a kind person dressed in a flowery apron, and I loved her dearly. I got the measure of her. Letterpress printed, water-coloured and typed by hand on 255gms Somerset Velvet, ea. 20cms x 5.5cms, June 2012 back |
