Regenerator : Ruth Shaw-Williams                  Book selected: The State and the Visual Arts New title: The State of the Visual Arts Upon leafing through The State and the Visual Arts, it was of some comfort to read that: “The paramount trusteeship of the arts in Britain to-day is vested in that percentage of the population which rejects the assumption that sessions of bingo and capers on the Costa Brava are the be-all and the end-all of our new leisure.” Basking in my newly acquired re-assuredness I began to disassemble the book and, inspired by the imagery on the front cover, as well as several amusing quotes from the main text, reassemble it into a Victorian sandbox toy. email  : ruth.shawwilliams@btinternet.com
