Metro 5 Gallery c_ex Chris Booth 2008

Dear Andrea,

I had a really good think about a blurb and have decided against writing anything.
As I tried to describe the other day I don't want nor have anything deeply profound to say about the work in this show other than I make what I do because I just absolutely love drawing and building things...I always have since I was a kid. We live in such a complicated world full of huge issues and this work solves none of them. If I write that, I don't feel I will be taken very seriously...and if I say something deep and serious, I feel it isn't really why I make art.

I guess I love art that's a puzzle or asks a question rather than gives an answer...I don't like having to read an essay to help me understand. I'd like the audience to leave wondering about what they've seen and making they're own story up.

So my friend....how's that? Leave it blank and let them make up their own minds.

Thanks Andrea,

x Chris
