July. I should have asked Darren to do his montage or leave the project. And asked Victoria to allow us to use her photograph or leave the project.These acts of cowardice widen into — no respect for me. Which in turn produces 22.09.25 Changing the...

I am in a good place.I am in a good place.I am in a good place.I am in a good place.I am telling the truth.My truth is my fortune.Why would I lie?It is very un-English to talk about money. We negate the importance of it. Peace. Having enough money talks to peace.I am having a peaceful day today. The...

During my projects, people who are struggling always gravitate towards me. I remember struggling. Feeling like I didn't fit in. Oddly, even how to make friends. Especially, how to keep friends. I know I don't look like this. I look confident.I am confident. I'm confident because of practising 4...

You should never shun your subconscious no matter how oblique it seems. Your subconscious is busy in the background alchemising your art. Feeding off your inspirations. Building your journey; your symbols; your craft; your tools. All you should do is listen. And act. On what is gracefully given. Not...

After the Art of Assembly last week, I meet Adam. We have a debrief. Neither of us can think properly — MY MUM IS WHITE has been so intense. I know he has changed. I have changed. ‘You look different.’ ‘You look different too.’ Chasing half-caste, mixed-race, is irrelevant now. We both...

So, I do my The Art of Assembly gig on Saturday. At Contact. 2pm. I am supposed to talk about excavating the Reno. But I’ve been feeling odd about this for a very long time. It’s when people, usually white people, usually organisations, usually institutions, describe the Reno as a 1970s haven...

The Bridge In Rhonda. In Spain. To see the bridge. Insane. Huge, huge bridge. Grand. Over a tiny river. Having a coffee outside my little Arabic café. In the square. The tiny square in front of the huge church. A baby Hunchback of Notre Dame Church. In Calle Del Espiritu Santo. My styish...

The last thing I will probably think about is money. I must learn to earn money now. Using my skills. I want to cut myself off from the slavery that has become every black artist’s birthright in the first quarter of the 21st century. I have been an artist for the first quarter of the 21st...

Entitlement We have to exorcise our lack of entitlement, I say to HOME CEO Karen. Or is it to our producer Clarissa? Sauna. Steam. Next door in Innside Melia. 7 individual suites with sofa. Breakfast included. Dinner at Gino D'Campo. £50 a head budget. Champagne. Because of earlier infractions:...

I've taught 12-words umpteen times so I know it works. 8-stations has always proved trickier. So tricky I've never given it a true shot. The 8' x 8' paper on HOME gallery's floor makes it easy. When I say what does a mixed-race sink look like what is the first object you think of? They write it...

I feel a diary post coming on. Monday 01.09.25 It's Elly's turn again. We've each had our first day, our individual day. Victoria, and Abi, cry when they come in and see themselves and their family projected huge on the wall. Adam is grateful. Darren looks sexy in his montage. I find watching mine...

Everything is about mind-set. Looking fully engaged, we are going to debate the shit out of MY MUM IS WHITE. Two moments from each participant's life. We don't have to debate the shit out of our mum's life. We're just fucking sensational. The legacy that causes this need to be worthy and hide our...

I am achieving my dream. I am the master of my craft. My style. My technique. A thing that is uniquely mine.  I am here. I am me. I have done it. 1.     Death of a Salesman Death of a Salesman is a great play. How does each scene go from there to there? Why does it make so...

Playlist Last night I was gonna call this week’s blog I’M A GODDAMN FUCKING HERO. It’s one thing doing your playlist and dancing into the night. You bust new moves. You have space on your kitchen floor. Your reflection in your kitchen window. Nobody is watching you. So you add a bit of...

1. To Curate or Not to Curate So, as you do, we are having a curator. Then the curator isn’t working out. We seem to be seeing things from different angles. Some strategic moves are made. First by curator. Then me. Then producer. It’s dead simple really. HOME want to see their press release a...

Our exorcism will take place at midnight on Sept 17, 2025. I look up what phase the moon will be in. The Waning Crescent phase. I look up what that means. • 24.81 days old and 22.09% illuminated, with the illuminated surface decreasing.• After the Full Moon and before the New Moon.• The...
