Tony Trehy's blog:
'My imagination of coming over to Bury to do this work was that once we had set it forth on the wall, I would have opportunity to finally know what it was. I could read it. I could stand back from it. I could think about it. I could question whether or not these separate images went together with each other, how these images might have gone together. After the fact, the real work was setting it forth on in space on the wall and it’s not my business to know what it says, any more than it is for any poet who writes a poem. I might get different readings on things in passing, but especially with a work of this kind of complexity, organisation, over time. The main thing is to allow it to exist in some space, and I don’t have to worry about what it means it can just be.'

Joy as Tiresome Vandalism spent one year working together to create this poetry/photo combo. Each month a piece of work (either poem or photo) was responded to. This process went on for twelve months so that in each collection there are six photos and six poems. aRb (aR) starts with a poem. aRb (Rb) starts with a photo.
