The Capacity to Care

The Capacity to Care, 2016, A4, ink on paper At a time controversially close to the event itself, it was said that the 9/11 terror event was ‘the last shock of the new‘, as the world spent a week in perpetual shock as the media horror show was melted into our brains like napalm. 24/7Continue reading “The Capacity to Care”
