Thank you to Catherine Owen for reviving some old images of The Chateau’s Launch event in 2003, which I was at. Image is work by Gregor Wright – happy birthday G. Here’s a link to Cells Out at the Old Courtroom and Jail which I was at and had work in. I seem to remember…

Constantly evolving, never the same twice (though technically, it could be the same twice, it’s just highly unlikely), frustrating, annoying and verging on the incomprehensible: www.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com‘s domain name refers to a specific moment in time and space;a narrative used by a dentist…
