I initially read this as “BRO signal released” and now I’m imagining the DNA symbol fired out into the night sky and all the bros gathering together, all smelling bold and adventurous

So sad to see our forest burning, visible from miles around. Had to drive back to our parents’ house through thick smoke yesterday afternoon, horribly eerie and dim as we came through the trees.

View across the New Forest towards Ringwood where a van fire on the motorway has sparked a forest fire. Huge plume of dark smoke stretching out across the sky. Heathland in the foreground.

Ghost/work in progress// abandoned after over an hour of rubbing and peeling paper only to make a hole where I'd prefer there not to be one, and then the realisation that two of the pieces are in the wrong order.

A photo transfer in the middle of being transferred. Black and white photo of a figure made up of four sections, cloudy and opaque under wet paper peelings.

In this week’s piece for Science & Magic, I am trying to follow the instructions from a 1977 edition of ‘Illusions’ by Edi Lanners www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

Cut out words on transparent paper: “near the other, it will, of course” “distorted and” “of concentric circles” “notice that the other” “that one face” “when the two” “has gone”. From the book Illusions by Edi Lanners, translated by Heinz Norden, 1977

Transparent paper with the instructions “this sheet belongs over p. 73” over the top of a photograph of me dancing in a ruined banana farm on Tenerife instead.

Film processed beautifully, just some base fog which was expected. I was expecting far lower contrast but hey ho, I’m happy. #half-frame Ilford HP3 expired 1971

We're still working on the full contents and format but I really like the way it's come together here.

Page 1.
All this country is hollow.
Could you strike it with some gigantic hammer
it would boom like a drum

Page 2.
I think time stands quite still
and I move around in it

Page 3.
A vast murmurous
gloom of dreams

A very nice surprise from my good friend Julian Hyde of Voices In A Lane press. He sent me this mock-up of an idea we've been working on, put together by book-binder Barbara Sheppard.

A grey presentation box with a photograph on the front and the words “I think time stands quite still
and I move around in it
sometimes slowly
and sometimes at a furious rate

A book. Black paper cover, blurry photograph of a forest stuck on with photo corners. Title: Threshold of the in/visible

I miss my little cat

A little white cat. He was a few weeks off 23. It’s been a while now and I miss him vastly.

Incantation for Small Solar Bodies

My hand holding a sheet of words, typed on A4 tracing paper. It’s the names of the planets typed over and over again with lots of typos and other mistakes.

Close up. Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto.

Waiting for the asteroid

A black and white photo of soft long grasses in the wind, and a small dark planet or an asteroid in the sky, a bit too close.

bits

A thermal paper print out of a light flare from super 8mm film / a strip of text cut from a children’s book: “5 900 000 000 KILOMETERS FROM THE SUN”. I’d spell it “kilometres”, but whatever.
