In Some Blind Alleys, my translation of an extract from Jean Cayrol's Lazare Parmi Nous: http://someblindalleys.com/index.php/2011/07/05/from-lazarus-among-us/. Non-fiction, concerning the dream-lives of the writer and his fellow inmates in the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauthausen-Gusen_concentration_camp).

Old painting, with minor photoshop edits. Roughness achieved through liberal application of wire mesh.

I stopped using watercolours in my early teens because of what I perceived as their anaemic, watery lack of impact; so its only proper that I return to watercolours in order to paint guts. (opinions welcome on which rotation you prefer.)

(image by John Cage)Now folks, just for a moment I'd like you to look away from the model, and I'd like you to close your eyes and imagine how the model might look if she was wearing a space-suit and floating around up there in space, attached umbilically to her mothership, and while the ambient trumpet music that I've provided for you tonight caresses your ears I'd like you to keep your eyes

Crumpled tracing paper stuck on top of blobs of paint, with some india ink to bring out the texture, and then written on with a silver pen. The text is by Edmund White and is about a midnight boat-ride, so suits the darkness and sea-like texture of the piece.

Its good to recycle - this is a panel from an old shower curtain. I glued paper into the frame, and started filling it with colour. Its slightly muddy and hellish looking, but I do quite like it.
