Charman's share of 28 days is constructed from short written texts; each met on a facing page with an illustration from Anderson. These lightning sketches can remained untouched or are developed further with colour. They follow in the historical tradition of Japan's Edo period prints of The Floating World (1603-1867) and Toulouse-Lautrec's Parisienne cafe culture works from the late 19th century. Anderson's interest lies in the richness of everyday social intercourse. The West Auckland sensibilities of her vibrant 28 days renderings are a testimony to the buoyancy of cafe culture of Tamaki Makaurau. Charman's accompanying text is indebted to the cross-genre sexual politics of Virginia Woolf's novel-essay A Room of One's Own. Her own 'everywoman' profiled in a series of 28 'snapshots' - concise narrative exposures, which borderlink the variety of solitary and social groupings captured by Anderson.A 'creative memoir' whose cross-genre dialogue interweaves a range of social and cultural strands. Each representative of the surprises and complexities, certainties and uncertainties, experienced in our lives today.
