Frieze Thumb

Last year I was fortunate to work at Frieze Art Fair (07) which was hard work, great fun and in one part, incredibly painfull. My thumb got hit by the swinging bar door of the cloakroom causing much pain and the following series of photographs.
I really like the visual aspect of the picture, it reminds me of "collect them all" postcards, or football stickers. The process of taking the photos at a certain time was also really fun, and something I would like to repeat. It is something you have to be extremely organised and focused on (which i wasn't at times). It reminds me of those videos on youtube when people take a photo of themselves every day and then speed it up so years pass in minutes.
