I’m Thinking of You

I’m Thinking of You presents a surreal, dreamlike image… a romantic vision of childhood fantasy and abandon. The body is central, but we are also presented with objects and music, which take the viewer through a contemplative, personal experience.

The first inspiration for I’m Thinking of You came from a childhood object, which Franko B made into a sculpture, altered for safe use by adults. The idea was to allow adults to play, to forget their problems, to let go, or just to have fun – in the same way that children are allowed to.

Over time, and through engagement with the composer Helen Ottaway of Artmusic, the idea has developed and changed, with Franko using performance and music as a means to create his desired image.
