The other ubiquitous item in all our lives is the plastic bank card. It is as part of our existence as much as the internet and brushing your teeth, that is as long as you live in a modern country. It is as part of our lives as much as the digital circuit boards. So, if you have a look at one of my more recent paintings, you will find that there are digital boards, and in many cases "plastic" money as well. This transforms that painting into a time stamp. At some time in the future, you will look at the antiquated circuit boards, with their huge chips and think that in those days they were so backward and clunky. And as for the bank cards, well, today we use subcutaneous chips in our wrists. I believe that in some clubs in London, this is the way that your drinks and entrance fees are charges. Maybe the future is here already.
