Dear Patrick
> such a wonderful put down!!!cheers deboyed
not intended as anything so strong, not really, tho I admit I might have
hesitated had we not been mildly rude to each other over the posts; just
wanted to make the point
I am intrigued by the evocative power of a line or mark, well-placed, to
show what is not actually shown, the brain persuaded to see
and analogues in writing
same wall? the word wall
from nowhere comes the memory of many years ago, thirty years ago, reading
the opening sequence of Bleak House in a seminar group and the tutor
asking quietly Where's the main verb?

Goldsmiths
In my end is my beginning
Been in Cambridgeshire, was hoping to do a bit of Oxfordshire soon but
have been unable to make the arts council grunt
Bristol presently, briefly -- working and exhibiting; and curating cobbing
again
but Goldsmiths, Goldsmiths, for now anyway
i've been doing stuff here, this way and that, for a decade
