ONE
I collect weapons. Currently I have 12 knives/swords and a shield. This is my friend Emma Sheridan with 2 fake handguns that belong to my also weapon-obsessed housemate. She’s an amazing artist and one of my favourite people ever.
TWO
Stanley Schtinter and I exhibited our collaborative film work (He composes all the sound for my films and often features in them too) at an old police station in 2011, with a film in each cell. This is my film Dread Majesty ( http://vimeo.com/24752395 ) seen through the cell doors spy grate, the optimum viewing position.
THREE
This is a print from the 16mm negative of this film ( http://vimeo.com/32872845 ) I was deeply obsessed with Georges Bataille at the time. I love printing from 16mm but it’s toilsome, there is an exclusive circle of hell reserved for untangling celluloid.
FOUR
L and I were at the coast taking photographs. It was flash pouring torrential rain and we hid under this dock to hide, but it was raining harder under there than out in the open. Trapped, slipping whilst we were forced to crawl out, it was hell.
FIVE
This was taken whilst filming this ( http://vimeo.com/24832518 ) Early on a winter morning with lots of whiskey. He has such an amazing face.
SIX
These are two of my ‘muses’ together. On the day we did these photographs I’d bought them three bottles of wine. S shaved his head, whilst crooning to Sinatras My Way and we spent the whole day in my attic photographing.
SEVEN
I’ve tried three times to create a selection of still life style photographs and have suffered a film fatality each time. This is the only image thats survived. I guess it’s just not for me.
