First I thought it was the excitement of travel, then it was the random sprinkling of hot and muggy days: now I realise it’s because of, well, you know… I close my eyes and my mind wanders, unbidden, unfocused, wanting. Eventually I slip into restless […]

The potholes in my city resemble roads in some war-torn republic, not an ostensibly first world nation; our national health service is in rolling crisis; workers are striking in virtually ever sector; food and energy prices […]

My 28th birthday passed by in April with little ceremony, similar to my 27th, both of which were lockdown birthdays, so I suppose on that basis I don’t feel 28. But […]

It was peculiar because I felt I was on that dangerous edge of being condescending in explaining its value and importance as an art form, how he shouldn’t approach it from the vantage […]

I find myself in a strange period of life, one that has been interesting and exciting and filled […]

This blending of distance & isolation with a feeling of safety and security speaks to my introversion and […]

Complex structures are anathema to it, and there will come a time, trillions of years from now when the last vestige of order in space disappears and the distance between subatomic particles will be thousands of light years. The fact that you are alive […]

It’s an itch, an ache, this feeling of constrained emotion and no way to express it in a satisfying way. I think it bleeds out subconsciously, inviting its way into […]

Often times it deeply reminds me of Brian McBride’s solo work (unsurprising given their collaborative The Dead Texan project together), but No. 4 begins to feel a little breakaway. Not that this is any way a bad thing; indeed this sentiment of motion and change […]

With nothing but the trees and wind and water around me, I relish […]
