In a series of works on paper made in June 1968 Flanagan used sticky back paper, designed for children, to make collages. Highly abstract these improvised works sometimes contain syntax, using different forms of notation to give a poetic quality.

Flanagan made a series of sculptures from canvas, sand & resin in the late 60s & early 70s. These works changed ideas about the language of sculpture forever. '4 rahsb 2 '67', 1967 undergoing conservation at Rupert Harris Conservation.

'pile 3 '68' currently on display in 'Ideas into Action: 1965-1980' @tate Britain. In the late 60s Flanagan's titles often came from the literal definitions of actions used in the process of making an artwork, stated by him as 'the business is in the making'.
