Petulant = Pouty

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.
