DAVID ITS QUITE MEAN AND EMOTIONAL FRACTIONAL IMAGE OF UR WORK AND SNIPPETS OF FICTIONS AND KNOWLEDGES

Upturned forearms consumed by a cloth of layers.

Soft friend, violent legend, who harnessed the energy of a thousand harsh dry coughs. Liminal emissions, or spore bearing potentialities, tectonic vapours, triggered by a thorough bleach cleanse. This matter rapture moves as glass does, wilting in the frame, exquisite and coy, much like the top breaths that scupper the roof of your mouth in a panic attack.

Shards hit your ruddy cheek when youre choppin wood, sweating out alcohol.

- Rosemary Kirton for her friend David Hanes
