Editioning the work - book as image as book.  A busy day in London – first up - in Whitechapel to check out material possibilities – lots of thinking….’African’ textile shops to think about pattern and meaning… and my next shirt material, 4D model shop unsure how they will fare with the onset of 3D printers. Theaster Gates at Whitechapel is sublime - great work that connects his past to his present through pottery. The film is just beautiful - potters wheel as turntable.....Unsure about the show at Sadie Cole HQ. Tate Britain was interesting - The Duveen galleries are full of noise, projections, lights, moving images and objects but it's a little uuuummmh. I spent time with the 'Seagram' Rothko's thinking about my younger self who had sat with them as an art student in the 80s. Whilst wandering the spaces I came across one of my all-time 'favourite' images - Donald Rodney - In the house of my father, a model made of skin grafts created whilst attempting to deal with sickle cell which went onto kill him. onto screens - Tick Tick Boom - fun and clever Get back - extraordinarily dull and yet  simultaneously mesmerizing.
