Cradles of the New
This is the first publication to be devoted purely to the writing of Simon Lewty. The author is best-known for his drawings combining figurative imagery and handwritten texts.
He writes: Cradles of the New has the feeling of a tale, but the telling has been intruded upon, disrupted and overlaid. The characters echo the dramatis personae of my pictures: the mocker and the mocked, the staunch pilgrim, the strange old man, certain animals, ‘he’ and ‘she’. The places are also familiar: the path, the field, the barn, the suburb, the shop. the incidents belong to a time which is antique, yet modern too. Not ‘once upon a time’, but simply ‘the day before yesterday’—gone, yet strangely present.
