Psychedelic time tunnels can have a big effect on a child’s imagination. Back in the 1960s and 70s Bernard Lodge struck terror into children of my generation with the first five title sequences for Doctor Who (to this day much celebrated design classics). The materials he used to develop the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker sequences included polarising filters, stretched polythene and a light box. Fascinated by the dramatic possibilities of using such simple materials, I created some abstract art quite different from my usual subject matter. Mr Lodge is now a print maker of considerable flair and talent, and I was delighted to meet him at an art fair in 2010 and thank him for his contribution to all those childhood nightmares!
