Newspaper or (Memoirs of a Spacewoman)
Here’s the front page of Alex Hetherington’s Newspaper or (Memoirs of a Spacewoman), written in response to Peter (2014). It’s not a collaboration, this is all Alex, but I wrote a bit of text and choose the images. All these images by Alex Hetherington.

Read MoreBig Store (1999 or 2000)
Just found this blast from the very, VERY distant past. I made Big Store in 1999 as part of Nicola Atkinson-Griffith’s Bulkhead project.

I’ll be introducing a screening of Blade Runner (Director’s Cut, 2007) at Borderlines Book Festival on Friday. Now as you know, I’m no film theorist, so I’ll be talking about the film’s relationship to PKD’s Do Andoids Dream of Electric Sheep, production gossip and why Blade Runner is great fun to play with. And if…
