‘Sum Poems’ at Volk Gallery, Dundee
June 29, 2021Get your pound coins ready!
My exhibition ‘Sum Poems’ opens on Thursday 1st July at 12:00 at Dundee’s Volk Gallery. Because of Covid etc there will not be an opening but at 12 curator and co-founder’s Luke Greer and Elizabeth Day will be cutting the ribbon to unofficially kick it off. Volk Gallery is a sexy chrome vending machine from which you can get your paws on one of my yellow tape cassettes for a very modest £3! If you have a suitable device, you can then utilise the tape and listen to me read a few of my poems on Side A then muse a collaborative banger with Daniel O’Dempsey on Side B.
Exhibition continues daily and until the tapes run out 9am-5pm.
Volk Gallery is at the Keiller Centre, Dundee.

June 22, 2021I’m happy with how my performance and installation/mural went during my Soapworks artist-residency a few months ago. There was good junk/found object articles in the space which we were encouraged to use during our residencies which worked well for me.
Stage-like installations which encompass painting, collage and found objects employed
as a backdrop and props for my poetry performances is something I’ve explored a
lot and which I will continue developing.
You can watch my performance from the Soapworks Hidden Door Live episode below.
