Things I have made
Peter & nou – new images
Shot by designer Matthew Walkerdine for his website, I’ve half inched these gorgeous new images of Peter & nou. All those ‘corrections’ in Peter – the scoring out, line by line – were drawn by me and then scanned and overlaid on the original text by Matt, and he didn’t bat an eye. Matt is,…
Read MoreA 35mm 208-ish Frame Version of Blade Runner…
…for the Harp Room (2017). I’d forgotten about this film, made at Hospitalfield this time last year. Like the other 35mm 208-ish Frame films (and there are around 20 of them, you can see them if you are fortunate at www.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com) it’s made with scraps of an original 35mm copy of Blade Runner.
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)
As you may have gathered, Peter (2014) has a partner and an opposite. 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…
Read Morewww.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com
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 new publication, Peter & nou. 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 traveling tunnel included for you, gratis. You’re welcome. It comprises a book called Peter (like the film Peter, 2014), a book…
Read MoreEggs and Aliens (2018)
This text was adapted to be part of a performance that happened as part of Alchemy: The Curios Society at Whitechapel Gallery in 2018. The text was read by Fiona, the digital Scottish Female voice found in Word, slowed down as far as she goes. Prof. Robert Williams progressed the slides on Fiona’s command. Robert…

…but for what, and who is nou?
Read MoreEggs and Aliens
You’d never know it, but…there has been action. Trapped in Glasgow by snow, I hastily re-wrote my contribution to this sold-out event The Curios Society at the Whitechapel (Saturday 3rd March, 3pm, Whitechapel), so that Eggs and Aliens was delivered by ‘Fiona’, the ‘Scottish’ digital Word voice, who, when slowed down as far as she…
Read MoreA new thing, finally made…
…all part of a larger thing still underway, ready for a showing at Glasgow International later this year. Because of that, there’s no title as yet, but think of Naomi Mitchison’s Memoirs of a Spacewoman, rabbits and a trip to the dentist and you may as well take the evening off come April. Watch it…
