The Bones of It

It’s looking pretty trippy today …

A interlude for April.

Continuing my research into conversations between line, form and place.

This time heavy on places of worship.

Is pre sriptum a word? Post scriptum definitely is, and I Iike the idea of using pre scriptum to describe a sketch. What started during those hazy days of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. You’d do a sideway dance to avoid touching someone, but accidentally brush past them. Conversations around touch or the absence of has led me to this moment, weaving together photographs from my phone archive. Warp and weft are truly some great words to start a conversation with.

The start of something new for 2026
Unearthed treasures while tidying up.
From here and there, gifted postcards getting some fresh air.

A note for January!

It’s hard to speak about things from the heart or what I’m looking forward to this year when the world seems to be imploding in on itself.There are more urgent matters that simultaneously need our attention but equally feel so big and overwhelming that anything I speak of or share seems so trite. This platform is a strange place at the minute. It is hard to filter through the noise but I keep coming back to the idea of the spectacle.

A powerful telephoto military camera detects human bodies from a distance of more than 30km. Humans appear as ghostly figures, their faces glowing eerily as the camera records traces of sweat, saliva and moisture. The world around them, whether the vast undulating sea or the makeshift streets of the ‘Jungle’ camp in Calais, we witness displaced humanity in its relentlessly grey otherness.

The camera itself is sanctioned as a weapon under international law because it is used for long range surveillance, and often connected to advanced weapons systems to lethally target enemy positions. It is this weapon that Mosse adapted and used to trace the journeys of refugees and migrants from all over the world.

An interlude!

We dance a dance in these corridors.
Deals get made, ideas are shared, artwork gets made and everything else happens in-between.

I was going to write something really profound about Holly @holly___antrum and how much solace these corridors of communication have been in the last twenty months. But, I got a bit distracted with things and lost the thread of what I wanted to say.

I adore her work, process of making, the way her words and images connect with each other,transport you into another realm. I will forever be thankful to her for introducing me to the word corpsing. It’s one of my favourites.

She is in the middle of finishing her Phd and is selling this print, ‘Green -eyed jump, rural idyll’ to raise funds for the last bit. If you’ve ever been through or are going through long periods of research you’ll know the last final push is a jumbled up bit of everything, everywhere all at once. I now have one and you can too! What better way to support Holly in this moment, than buying her print?

Go check out Holly’s work, fall in love with her process, her words and treat yourself beautiful piece of work knowing that you are supporting someone in their research endeavours.

You are almost there.
Big love.

Oh Dungeness! With the smallest railway in the world, the lighthouse and those monolithic concrete listening ears sitting majestically on the Kent coast . You are truly very special!
