Exhibition poster that Hazel and I collaborated on soon after she left Alsager in the mid 80's. Hazel made gadgets for collecting fluff and also did a mail art project which poeple around the world sent samples of fluff to her and she made a Fluff Museum which was an old microscope slide box. I contributed a few of my gouaches.

Fluff wandered onto a friends porch and stayed. We took him from the porch and gave him a full home and family. Sweet, loving and gentle. We call him 'Shadow Dancer' as he loves to chase shadows. He was resting with Susan (my wife) on Christmas morning.
