THINGS YOUR GRANDMOTHER SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU

These collages were created in early 2005, inspired by the series of little articles entitled “Things your grandmother should have told you”which appeared in the Sunday Star Times’ Canvas magazine. 

The quirkiness of some of the topics that one could learnt from grandma amused me and I decided to use them to produce this baker’s dozen collage collection. Whilst not trying to teach grandmother how to suck eggs, I have given each of grandma’s lessons a somewhat tongue-in-cheek twist.
