14×10cm, 14 pages, edition of 500 (numbered) Do we all anthropomorphise everything with 'two eyes'? If we did we might put a smile under it and turn it into a face. Do our surroundings reflect how we feel? If you were feeling frustrated, everything wouldn't be smiling. What if everything in your house was pouting because they didn't get their own way? My hobs, switches, cupboard knobs, taps and bed curls did. I also like to look at language and the title is looking at different versions of the same word.

A long-term, project of handing out leaflets with odd statistics on them like "We are 50% happier than we were last year". I have also left them on train and bus seats and put them in paper pouches tied to lampposts. I have made a book called Have A Nice Day with images of the leaflets and the distribution methods. The project continues.

50% Happier
