There is a strange part of me that is attracted to Performance Art like some sort of radiator that seeks me out or do I seek it out? When I am out in the cold. Literally.
This piece of work was a sort of follow on to the work I did in Cork last November (see […]
Our father
Old people holding on to something, in old people’s homes, nearly dead, a life gone. Seeing it all disappear, grains of sand, scared
Who art
Floating off, on some kind of cloud. Relatives waiting patiently on the other side
In heaven
What are we afraid of? Being lonely, alone. This is heaven on Earth, forests, deserts, rivers streams, […]
The daily, three-phase, hundred and forty kilometre round trip was recurringly tedious. Arduously hot. It began by getting to the main road at 6a.m., to wait there, to be picked up and bumped around on a hardened flatulence of tyres bloated to the extreme in an arrogant preference for efficacy of the speed machine.

Leaving a friend’s house the other night I noticed for the first time above the door a shelf full of bric-a-brac. Most of the items were made of glass, bottles, jars, a decanter, there were some brass candle holders, old tins speckled with rust and a few other assorted pieces. He told me he had […]

“Most bankers don’t think they did anything wrong,” a spokesman said. “By changing the language of banking we believe bankers will come to accept that what they do […]
Ideas simultaneously tire and rejuvenate me. I feel like a coiled spring. The tension wears the body down but the inevitable release of energy that gives birth to a dream, idea, thought, action keeps my soul bright, light and alive
But how do I continue? How many years can I go on, keep it all going […]
In the beginning everything was clear. The road lay ahead and the maker was anxious to get started. It all seemed so simple. He had read about those that went before him and was in no doubt that he too could find his way. Know his mark and make it. And so he left the […]
So it’s over. Our events are done. At last. Ten this year which isn’t bad for a DIY arts resource that’s online just over a year. I feel alot was accomplished during the events of the 26th and 27th November. Many elements came together; mutant performers from all over Ireland, designers, volunteers at the door, printers, hotel, venue […]
