Description
After the late 20th century emergence of the internet and digitisation, the global speedup has continued, with growing everyday angst. Wars, social media, neoliberal job insecurity,
rising costs and the continuing Covid-19 pandemic have eroded confidence, trust and security in everyday life.
Stephen Alomes explores the lived ironies of our times, while finding pleasure, colour and beauty, beginning with his friends the goldfish, captured in paint and a poem.
'Insightful and entertaining ... from goldfish to people. Such is life'
Dr Jean Callaghan
