A pdf of a printed and then handwritten text on quantum Robins amongst other things … I have been interested in the form of the text – by hand or by an algorithm and how it effects the content. Hold onto (G)love – Printed Hold onto (G)love –...
I wanted to raise a few points that I’m concerned about in terms of artist’s relationships to institutions and funding that I found difficult to find space for in the CVAN meeting as it was concerned with how to represent content and identities more than...
Struggling to try and describe in type and images how to fold a geometric form to someone faraway. If just one fold is turned the wrong way – a mountain fold instead of a valley fold, the strucutre will fail – until that one fold conforms. You also have to...
So rarely has a critic spoken to me directly about a work of mine they then write about, with exceptions, such as Charlie Fox, Tom Morton and Elizabeth Fullerton. Often the reviewer/critic has never seen another work of mine. My works have often been outside of London...
Keith has become a specialist in UFO since lockdown and we have accrued a huge amount of books on the subject. Strange how the aliens seem to need to arrive in a vehicle and often have a face with two arms and two legs. We may have strong hallucinatory tendencies but...
It was on the morning of what would have been my father's birthday the first sunflower opened (July 5th), alone and singular – it makes me ask the question "why this one and why this day". Is it pure coincidence or a sign of alchemical relevance?...
I awoke to the radio speaking of the TikTok App and its relationship to growing tension between China and India. Although philosophical causal determinism would be a pragmatic position to comprehend the way things turn out as they do, it seems that the utter...
I feel my identity just became redundant in a spiralling butterfly effect that came from a bacteria in China, so now I am too white, too English, too 'she' pronoun, too old, too not a collective, too ugly, too poor, too working class, too difficult and...
Feeling confident that I am just speaking to myself I going to unleash my demons, to see how unreasonable they are (to see part of my personal 2052 selves as defined by Virginia Woolf). Can I write myself out of this feeling – this feeling, like an agitation...
The British Art Show list of 40 artists was announced on social media yesterday, many ex-students, friends and colleagues are included and also many I do not know. Perhaps it is often difficult for artists who can not make the grade for various reasons, it begs the...
My mind is a ball on a roulette wheel this morning, bouncing across the quadrants, subjects arising, questions… Such as, is it ok to address the circassian beauties (created by PT Barnum) as embodying a commodification of both women and enslavement? I wonder...
There are four things fluttering in my head this morning, 1. A memory of a video I saw yesterday on Sheppey FB Gossip Board of a gathering just beginning which culminated in the stabbing of two black boys at a beach rave in Leysdown on Sheppey (the...
I awoke in the night having watched the 4 chapters of 2052 selves films I made for Knole in 2018. Whilst filming I had an interest in the representations of POC in the house and I drew attention to them in the film as a reminder of colonialism. The novel Orlando,...
Today's concerns. Listening to in Our Times with Lyndsey Stonebridge, Frisbee Sheffieild and Robert Eaglestone speaking about Hannah Arendt and totalitarianism on my headphones in bed. This was set in the context of having attended a sociology lecture/debate on...
A line between the physical world as a cause in itself (causa sui) and the mind (which responds as an impulsive continuous narrator) drives me towards a desire to discard a written text that becomes necessary to make an artwork comprehensible – a codex...
Content seems to govern artworks currently, mostly on socio-political or identity driven narratives. Exhibitions are framed around meaningful contemporary content. The forms these subjects are represented through, however, tend to fall back onto standard formats. The...

I have been thinking about the smart phone and its troubled relationship to the tricky subject of identity. There is no doubt of the device's prosthetic quality – of how it insinuates its way into one's procedural memory, steps in where our semantic...
There is an emerging possibility that schizophrenia can be cured without medication by an ‘avatar’. A treatment using this premise is being fully tested now with the support of the Wellcome Institute. Even if the cure is not a permanent solution its...
A Meeting with Chris Frith I was curious to know if Chris was still interested in an idea that he wrote about in the 1970s about a filtering fault in the brain that could explain something about the condition of schizophrenia. I asked him if the concept he had...
