Love me to lunch

Drawn by hand, transformed on screen, returned to paper in 2000.

A photograph of a print with warm ochre and orange fields, turquoise repetitions and elongated figures meeting at the centre. The words Love me to lunch run in two directions. Paper edges, creases and a signature dated 2000 are visible.

Bjørn Moe Aldema began with a drawing on paper. In Photoshop he mirrored and doubled its forms, changed their scale and added colour. The repeated lines brought the drawing into new company with itself.

The figures approach from several directions. They might be dancing, or deciding together where lunch should be.

The words are there in the picture: “Love me to lunch.”

There is room to linger over the invitation.

This photograph shows the print made in 2000. Creases and marks record some of the paper's life since then, joining the forms already on it.
