"One of a collaborative artist’s book trilogy (Red Blue Shades, Perm Green Light & Cad Yellow Deep) inspired by the short story ‘Watching God’ in the collection Three Moments of an Explosion by China Miéville. For 2018, the World Book Night United Artists issued an invitation to read and respond to this text, for an exhibition Found on the Isthmus. For the exhibition, we bought frames from second-hand shops, removing the contents to replace with the new artwork displays. From the removed artworks, we photographed sections and responded to the elements of nature, movement, reading, writing, the passing of time and the slippage of words." -- UWE Bristol
