Jeff Walls work was shown in the Tate collection.
This was the first work by the influential Canadian artist to be acquired for a British public collection. This gigantic photographic image is based on Hokusai's woodcut 'A Strong Gust of Wind at Ejiri' from circa 1831. Hokusai's woodcut is set in the typhoon season in Japan and depicts travellers struggling to hold on to their hats and other possessions in a raging gale. Jeff Wall has transplanted the scene to the landscape around Vancouver and shows a group of figures caught off-guard by a sudden gust. The work is constructed from parts of more than fifty images shot over a year, which were then scanned and digitally processed. The result took so long to assemble that Wall himself likened the procedure to cinematography than photography.

I believe my work below to resemble that of Jeff Walls. I set up this image in order to bring the paper and words which confuse me so much back into nature. The link was that paper is made of trees so take the paper to the tress also I believe a more natural image would show the naturalness of being dyslexic. My image is below:
