Image courtesey of Rob Nunns Within this exhibition is basically my full year’s expenditure of energy that didn’t otherwise go into earning a wage, maintaining social bonds, our down the plug hole mixed with alcohol. So obviously it’s something I deem worth sharing, alongside the blogpost cover the entire An Unofficial Alumni exhibition.

‘Mind Camp’
Mind Camp (2013), mixed media on paper, 100x140cm The title of Mind Camp is taken from a very ignorant error I made when I was somewhat younger; believing it to be the English translation of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler’s notorious book. Of course, Hitler’s book is actually translated as ‘My Struggle’, and the remaining connectionContinue reading “‘Mind Camp’”

I get it, but always forget it.

‘The Place of Dead Ends’
The Place of Dead Ends (2013, biro and collage on paper, 120X100cm) The idea for The Place of Dead Ends fixed itself together whilst I was walking around the park-lands of Greenwich, London (a place saturated with popular history), in the autumn of 2012. I stumbled across the Queen Elizabeth [the 1st] Oak, a treeContinue reading “‘The Place of Dead Ends’”
A Couple of Recent Psychogeographical Maps
These maps were made on Thursday in the Barnsley area (which I’ve mistakenly labeled as being on the 27th, when they were in fact on the 28th. I am making these maps as part of a psychogeographical project where I intend to explain back to myself the experience of inhabiting certain human landscapes I amContinue reading “A Couple of Recent Psychogeographical Maps”
