Tickle Your Fancy – #9
Welcome back to our ninth post in our new section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’. We launched this nine weeks ago and it’s already becoming very popular. ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ includes a round-up of five links to articles from around the internet that have specifically interested us during the course of the week. Ones that we feel are relevant to your interest in photography and art.
Just to explain the title for this section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ is an English idiom and essentially means that something appeals to you and perhaps stimulates your imagination in an enthusiastic way, we felt it would make a great title for this new section of the site.
We hope you enjoy this weeks selections…

Turner Prize Winner Malcolm Morley – ‘The moment anyone said my work was art, I had this block…’
Fabulous interview by Nicholas Wroe of The Guardian with The Turner Prizewinner Malcolm Morley. Morley is such an intriguing character, his life has included prison, psychoanalysis and five marriages.
