Revolution #10 (2015)
Revolution #10 started life as a commission in 2014 for the InTRANSIT festival in London. On a campaign stall on the Portobello Road, I interviewed the public about the importance of democracy. The work expresses the divergent views of members of the public in the run-up to a General Election and reflects the messiness and competing noises of democracy…
In A Shetland Landscape research trip
I have just returned from a research trip to the Shetland Isles with ceramist J Kay Aplin. We have a residency booked at Scalloway Booth on the island next August and then an exhibition at Da Gadderie in Shetland Museum in April 2016 and so this was an opportunity for me to get to know…

The Gentrification Suite (2014)

Shoreditchification
Journalist Alex Proud appeared to coin the word in an article for the Telegraph dated January 2014, “Why the Shoreditchification of London must stop”. The term however originally comes from a song of the same name, created as part of my six movement noise opera “The Ballad of Skinny Lattes and Vintage Clothing” launched in July 2013; seen here on YouTube.

It’s a group sound show inspired by the Surrealist practice of Exquisite Corpse, using common rules and starting points (similar to the parlour game of Consequences).
