Image essay on 'Training for a Better World'. By Michael Szpakowski.

"On 28th October 2011 I travelled to Sète in the South of France to see 
and to review Annie Abrahams' show Training for a Better World. About 
half way through the evening I started both photographing and sketching 
as aides-memoire for my reviews but I soon began to enjoy the feeling of 
responding to the work for its own sake and I began to think about about 
presenting the drawings and photographs (plus some drawings made from 
the photos two days later, as well as a couple of manipulated photos) as 
a kind of photo-essay/derivative work."
