My car window is now a gallery.

My grubby hands and the mess that built things.

Words are.

Words are just.

Words are just a way to communicate. Something. Anything. I don’t know.

Here are some phrases arbitrarily stamped permanently into metal.

BRAIN MUSH

Ya know, when your brain feels like mush? I can’t be any more clear.

ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR

Scenario:

Blind date person 1: How will I know who you are?

Blind date person 2: I will be wearing the badge that says “Erratic behaviour”

Blind date person 1: ok

?

I’M MELTING

I’m - as in, I am. as in, you are.

Melting - becoming liquefied by heat.

Wunderkammer. The shit I love.

The cabinet of curiosities. The folk art, the “outsider” art. Weird Dioramas and collections.

An action the everyday person takes to creatively express themselves. Anyone who just made something for the hell of it, because they felt compelled.

Earlier this year I drove across the US. It took just under 3 months.

Some parts with friends, some parts with strangers, some parts alone.

It was.. too much to explain here. My mind is still digesting it.

So, here are a few photos and here is a thing:

In March I found myself in the unusually cold Roswell, NM. After driving for miles through the flat arid terrain of Texas.

This Video is a snapshot in time. My couch surfer host, a couch surfer himself, taken up abode in a house owned by a woman who decided to leave America while trump is in office. He was left in charge of the animals and the upkeep.

He had been travelling for 15 years until he came to Roswell.

Couch surfers house in Kingman, Arizona. USA.

The work of idle hands: Legs and eye. .

Patchy.

Holiday

Another.

Bananagram. Nonsense French. Montréal

Clamped sketch book.

Learning the process: Shape wire mesh - welding steel rebar to make the structure strong - soak burlap in liquid concrete and position around the mesh (like papier mache) - leave to dry - next layer is concrete mixed with polystyrene balls, cover the entirety of the burlap this helps form the shape of your sculpture - leave to dry - next layer is smooth cement to get rid of all the tiny bumps - leave to dry for 3 weeks - paint / mosaic - Finished.

Nova Scotia, Canada

Here’s a photo of me with my eyes closed and a giant red telephone I made out of concrete for the Maze.

Nova Scotia, Canada

I made this bench. 6 weeks spent helping out building a maze in Bridegwater, Nova Scotia.

The mountains have eyes. Eyes eyes eyes. Ceramic pieces made in Toronto finished in Halifax, Canada.

My tangled reality.

Picking up some wood today in preparation for Fringe Arts Bath opening 26th May - more info to follow. Gonna make some stuff.
