To the Old World ( Thank You for the Use of Your Body) The bus stop smash was posted on uk-bants and I wanted this squalid little act, shitty in its resolution, to become immense.

Exulted, meaning to ‘leap up’ or ‘leap out’: So, for me he exults through the bus stop.

Carry Me into The Wilderness came about when I went for a walk in Ally Pally at the end of lockdown. I was listening to music and as the sun came out I was all overcome and I felt myself un-numbing - relieved of the numbness of the past two years when all that there was, were windows and looking out and looking in.

I was looking at icons and was taken with the notion that they aren’t picturing the saints but instead offer an actual window onto heaven, a direct channel - a disintermediation - between you, and the saints.

I made this after the bus stop and I wanted it to go in the opposite direction - degrading, or lowering an exalted or pious image - but with the same intention of intensifying or amplifying what had already drawn me too it.
