A Humument page 47


Another recently completed page to inspire pupils at Easingwold School (York), Fulford School (York), Boroughbridge High and Upton Hall School (Birkenhead) who are currently working on their own interpretations of p.62. We hope you will post us comments to let us know how you are getting on.
Page 47 with its repeated stave motif, takes the theme of music and relates to some of the imaginary scores that Tom Phillips has made using collage, painting and pastel. The top section is a collage, the tiny pieces come from illustrated periodicals such as The Boys Own Paper, these illustrations being engravings rather than photographs.
