A great weekend - the photos prove it! - Friday was a great night out watching Alexander Costello from 303 gallery in Lowestoft fight his way out of a 'paper bag' - actually several giant rolls of paper at the artstation in Saxmundham was most excellent. The structural forms created alongside the sound was memorable. It must be that time of year – I’ve received several requests to digitize and make public some works I have in collections – this is great news, the opportunity for organisations to make work available to a wider public is always the right move and gives a warm feeling all over. I like the idea of the DNA of all the readers/viewers embedded within the materiality of the books. Their memories layered 'palimpsest like' within the works. Meanwhile I'm slowly grasping concepts around receptor pharmacology and thinking of ways to communicate these ideas through the construction of articulated cardboard structures. Quite a task - 2 hours in the V&A just emptying my head whilst breathing in has started the process. Can't wait to get in the studio and start forming.  Onto screens - Everything Everywhere All at Once – truly amazingly mind blowing. The Getaway King - fun romp with some excellent 'slow motion set tableaux scene's', Nine days - an interesting premise, just this side of kooky. Silverton Siege - a solid film based on actual events.
