'The work that I’m making in the studio at the moment began at the start of the pandemic lockdowns. I began it at home when I had no access to the studio and limited access to art materials. I occasionally worked in three dimensions before this, but now the most obvious source of materials was all the additional cardboard packaging that came with much greater online delivery of all kinds. I began a series of small cardboard poem-sculptures which took as their starting point some of the lines from a book of poems and pictures that I did last year with Bill Albert and Joy McCall. These very quickly took on a life of their own and turned into installations of poem objects, pictures, projections and soundtracks. I was conscious of being pulled along by the work which was creating an alternative world of the poems. Soon it happened that the recycled poem objects began to appear in my pictures. The work encompassed ideas of social, personal and poetic history. It is concerned with memories and interpretations of the past viewed from a transforming and continually evolving present. The works reflect on the psychological aspects of our unstable vision of events. Some of the work projects these reflections into a transfigured future, but all the work concerns the ways we use our capacity for mythmaking and reimagining the world.

– Every day, an art bridge into the future!'
