The latest book, pattern magic, is going to be in a show in the Upright Gallery in Edinburgh. It was developed from imagery and ideas I encountered whilst working within a scientific context, as an artist in residence at Nano Doctoral center in Cambridge. The shapes were derived through the study of Penrose tessellation whilst exploring crystallography. I Laser cut the shapes of the spaces and used them as a masking device to create the spray-painted pages. The structure enables multiple juxtapositions, creating a playful experience as the pages are turned. Onto screens - Ruben Östlund’s Force Majeure – a truly disturbing experience with a truly vibrant soundtrack. After this and The Square I can’t wait to watch Triangle of Sadness. After finishing The Patient – a truly frightening set up with a truly bizarre script. Steve Carell is wondrously disturbing, and I was lost at the nihilism of the outcome. And then there was The System – good man, prison drama, corruption etc, On The Line – a radio show call in – with a twist or two maybe!
