Introduction

Statement

The city is my work.

A certain, empty capsule of time, no other.

That early hour after the drunks have gone yet before the giant, hard edged, concrete hulks reinvigorate themselves to face the battering humans lay on and into them.

A monster, never sleeping, just watching us with it's electric eyes. Glaring shop colours smartening themselves for the spending hoards.

The dark adjacents, lurking silents, inviting the unwary to enter. A catnapping machine with one eye open for the misguided step. The nightmare of the architect's dream.

Down and dirty as Rock and Roll.

Up and proud as steam rising from dog shit amongst the cultural junk.
