  • Solipsist (2012)

    Directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, Solipsist is as arresting as it is difficult to categorise. It’s the film David Cronenberg would make if David Cronenberg was big into craft, or it’s a Frank Oz cheese… Read more

  • MFT #3 The Last Time I Saw Richard (1971)

    I was introduced to Joni Mitchell’s 1971 album, Blue, when I was a first year undergraduate at art college. Maybe this is when everyone first hears the album? It certainly reads like a cliché now… Read more

  • Throwback Friday #9 Meadow (2014)

    I know, I know. There’s been a whole world of grass-themed posts on here over the last few weeks. Blame the good weather. Blame the lock-down. Blame the Kent countryside. Blame Monet’s and his fetish… Read more

  • Night Flyers #2

    “An experiment in pure design by film artists Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart. Lines, ruled directly on film, move with precision and grace against a background of changing colors, in response to music specially composed… Read more

  • Night Flyers

    Dangerous-looking and ridiculously dramatic, these ‘Night Flyer’ lilies were glowing in the garden this afternoon, their stamens like pokers left too long in the fire. Read more

  • Knave’s Ash Part 2 (2020)

    A further rush of gauzy photographs from that plushly upholstered meadow of flowering grasses. Read more

  • Knave’s Ash Part 1 (2020)

    Another evening walk, another glorious meadow, another glut of painterly photographs! Is it art or are they just 5000 piece jigsaws-in-waiting? What’s ultimately disappointing about these images, their billowing impressionist effects aside, is they can’t… Read more
