Using Autoethnographic Abstracted Materialism, 2050:2100 weaponises art and collaboration to resist the void and establish a network of Creative Kindness. My work is driven by the impending Geopolitical Climate chaos of biome degradation, resource scarcity, mass migration and societal collapse. Using up precious resources, I asked A.I. when the Earth would become uninhabitable: ‘Predicting an…

My art practice is THE NETWORK… The following 3 points summarise the three learning outcomes of my MA. I’ve been enabled to take a long hard conceptual look at the last 2 years… …the rest is all storytelling… 1. Realisation Over the course of my MA journey, I have developed a body of work that…

We discussed the current state of trans politics and how that affects my art practice, my future PhD, its associated art/network, and myself personally. First, you are what you are; none of…

When a friend said how remarkable I am doing and how I manage to land on my feet when faced with challenging setbacks… I replied instantly… I don’t see them as setbacks but as an opportunity for a new adventure… For the first time since my temporal turn, I thought I was really excited about…

The interesting part of an autoethnographic art practice is the minutiae of self-examination. On Friday, I had a meeting with my prospective PhD supervisors. As always, it was a Wow moment. The stuff we talked about can’t help but affect my art practice; it is impossible for it not to. Pain is an unwelcome companion…

At the moment, I am surviving, but I can’t say I am thriving. The bloody cats are killing me… up five times last night. I don’t think two chest-fed kids were this much work, but I’ve probably forgotten, and I was a quarter of a century younger and a lot, lot fitter… In other art…

Over the next few weeks, my art practice will look like a never-ending stream of reel-making for the Wales Climate Virtual Conference, digital marketing course in London, funding proposals, spreadsheets, meetings, report writing, sorting out camera tech et al. My art practice is The Network. To make an art network work, you need the above;…
