Eighty-Something

Eighty-something is a new book from artists Sue Gill and John Fox MBE, two 80 year olds, whose life long creative partnership has been spent seeking a role for art that weaves it into the fabric of our lives. Illustrated with drawings by John Fox.

A broad perspective which covers location, health, hands-on work, gifts, religion, celebration and ceremony, with acknowledged influences and examples of the Fox Family aged 9 – 84, working together from time to time as musicians, inventors, visual and sound artists and performers.

Framing significant episodes rooted in memory, part polemic, part visionary, part wake-up call in later life, it is an idiosyncratic collection of personal values, anecdotes, sorrows and surprises. Derived from well-worn experience, it offers a glimpse of homegrown wisdom and creativity.

”As full of love and art as you’d expect from the people who founded Welfare State International in the 1960’s”  François Matarasso
