"summers to summers" by tom cops and aaron sewards

the gallery is filled with drawings, collages and photographs this month. tom and aaron play together in the naive bedroom pop band "i know i have no collar" but also spend a lot of time on various visual arts projects. aaron is always drawing, but recently has been ignoring the pencil and doing a lot of work with watercolour lines creating sometimes abstract and sometimes realistic scenes that draw you in. tom is a photographer who has been more and more making collages out of nice bits of old paper and other found objects...
the title comes from an "i know i have no collar" song, but it represents the distance the two artists felt when aaron moved to canada for a year and they focused on their individual work, finding that they'd changed greatly when they met up again.

"these are our numbers, summers to summers,
hands inside hands, autumns and winters,
winter and spring,
spring and then summer"
