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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Personally, societally, what a mess of a year it’s been; it feels like I’d rather not sit here and dwell too much on the past 12 months but at least […]

In many ways this record became a significant motivator and pushed me over the […]

For that fraction of a second they’re weightless and hovering, oblivious to the growing void beneath and the imminent descent into it. Hecker captures every moment of […]
