What I’ve been looking at of late…
nou (2018)
Emerging from my obsession with Scottish socialist writer Naomi Mitchison’s Memoirs of a Spacewoman (1962) nou (Single-channel video, 18 mins) is a tale of space travel, hypnosis and transformation across time and space, from an alien world to a dentist’s chair in Glasgow, 1981. nou is kind of a partner to and an opposite of…
Read MoreThey Are the We of Me (2005)
Just found this link to an archive of GoMA, and my solo exhibition of 2005, They Are the We of Me. Laurie Figgis‘ essay and Sarah Smith‘s review are both excellent, so thank you to those two. A work in this show (a wee oil painting, long since given away) became the song The Why,…
Read MoreAlchemy: The Curios Society @ The Whitechapel
I was highly excited to be in the mix and contributing a text/talk for Alchemy: The Curios Society, alongside the amazing duo of Kate Briggs and Robert Williams. All connected to Mark Dion’s Theatre of the Natural World show at the Whitechapel… And then the snow arrived and I was trapped in the Greggs on Glasgow’s Gordon…
Read Morenou (2018)

Here’s a link to a 2 minute clip of my new video, nou (2018): nou clip. nou (18 mins, 2018) – Inspired by Scottish socialist writer Naomi Mitchison’s Memoirs of a Spacewoman, nou is a tale of space travel, hypnosis and transformation…

Thanks to Trish de Vries, Peter & nou comes in a web version. 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…
Read MorePeter & nou – The Book(s)
Here’s my publication, Peter & nou (2018). Matt and Jess at Good Press organised this and Matthew Walkerdine designed it too. It’s element heavy, with a sticker of a lab rat in a kaleidoscopic space/time-travelling tunnel included for you, gratis.

Read MoreSpeculative Realism and Science Fiction by Brian Willems
I get it. I think so anyway. This book is currently changing my heed, into a marginally more understanding heed., an excited heed. Thank you Brian Willems for using the right tools for this geek. And thanks too to Rob Churm for programming a talk by Brian into the Old Hair Programme as part of…
Read MorePlease accept my apologies, readers of blogs
I know, I know, we are all very busy people, but I’ve gone all unbloggy and we all know that one should try to remain as bloggy as possible in these times of share and overshare. I’ve been busy working on nou, a new film, which had its first outing at GI (Glasgow International) in…
