I've a theory (based on nothing but my own conjecture) that as owning property has become less attainable, cars have become a way of establishing status, adult progress and permanency through the rite of ownership

I'm grateful to National Library of Scotland and University of Glasgow for support making Childish, and to Cove Park where much of Blame was devised and shot.

Politics is built on speech acts. Why did you enter politics if not with a view to improving the world? If human suffering is unacceptable to you, then use your voice and privilege to act.

When our politicians come back to us yet again with sympathetic words, it is necessary to respond: what are you actually doing to help? What powers are you using to stop a genocide? What else could you be doing to stop people being murdered today?

What's in a frame?

Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.

Extremely excited to return to Manchester for this special event. It's not technically the first screening in England (Cambridge got there first, sorry!) but it's certainly the fanciest screening I've had since the premiere and I'll need to polish my shoes.

In the burrowing slowness of indifference
​worm felt her middle jerk
watched eyeless as space opened
heard wind whisper if you only could 
comprehend boggle-headed where a turn can take you.
She wrote an β€˜S’ in the air and flicked 
dirt from every violent coil.
