About
I'm no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream. I do not see, for there is no I to see. That is what the pirates know. There is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate. (K. A.)
1. Find a street atlas for a town you do not live in.
2. Tear out half the pages.
3. Frequent abandoned buildings.
4. Make an important discovery regarding the inside of envelopes.
5. Find a book of photographs documenting the lives
of French Marines.
6. Steal someone’s scissors.
My art is about repetition, reproduction and revolution, which I explore thematically and through the various media I utilise: experimental writing, typography, printmaking, photocopying, typewriters, mail art, zines and collaborative projects.
