Was gutted to miss Johny Pitts Roger Robinson Off the Shelf Festival of Words recently but chuffed to finally get to see this today Sheffield Museums #GravesArtGallery . Do check it out #Sheffield folk.

Early stroll. Rain’s dramatic monotony has stopped. Puddles as weather’s tears. The empty chairs in the bright betting shop. As ever, the hill teaches me things about landscape and my body. Temporary traffic lights give out temporary light.

Dig Where You Stand is back at SheffieldGenCemetery from 12th Nov.
A collab between myself and Otis Mensah. Art combats the silences.
