Ostentatious Immateriality

I like words. I think I like words more than pictures. I dislike it when people feign modesty. I am an ‘artist’. I grew up in Bowen. I collect books; stories, zines, art books and recipe books. I am interested in cooking. I am a vegetarian. Animals are pretty cool. I do not like Wim Delvoye or Nathalia Edenmont for this reason. I enjoy seeing toilets outside of their homes. I am one of those enigmatic ‘clean hippies’, in that, I will fight about it. Amazing concept. I am often sarcastic. I think people like Colin Meloy are genius’ and anyone that calls them “creative genius’” can fuck off. There is no freaking difference. I love poetry but find it mostly boring. I think the search for creative accomplishment is to make art do what words do, and I won't lie, I am yet to find or make art that really does a fucking thing to my heart jumps. One day. I like things that are French. The word Dickhead makes me laugh. I love googolplex. I like beer and have given up on paying for wine even though the labels are pretty, it just tastes like shit, and nearly murdered my best friend. I hope to go to Glasgow soon and live.

I enjoy listening to The Decemberists, The Weakerthans, Something For Kate, Third Eye Blind, Augie March, Camera Obscura, The Wombats, The Fiery Furnaces, The Strokes, Stereophonics, Page France, Fiona Apple, Custard, Mogwai, The Aislers Set, Cat Power, Clem Snide, The Dandy Warhols, The Mountain Goats, Wilco, Beulah, The Fiery Furnaces, Gomez, Spoon and Ben Gibbard.

I enjoy viewing programs such as Arrested Development, Weeds, IT Crowd, John Safran, Black Books, Cooks, Family Guy, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Code Monkeys, South Park, Peep Show, Mighty Boosh, Supernatural, The Office, Californication, Reaper, Entourage and Doctor Who.

I am interested in art, art theory, Artground magazine, alternative street art, meta-travel, Martin Creed, Tracey Emin, Joel Peter Witkin, Dan Witz, Ron Mueck, Del Kathryn Barton, Eduardo Recife, Sophie Calle, Gillian Wearing, Joseph Cornell, Sean Cordeiro, Claire Healy, Brett Whiteley, Egon Schiele, Scary Go Round, Questionable Content, XKCD, poetry, words, the way in which words are presented in the visual arts, ampersands, boxes, staying up late, cold sand, the cold, rain, cold rain, meta-Glasgow, study, messy floors, boys that wear suit jackets over t-shirts and jeans and act like Hank Moody, dymos (Rurik rocks), vegan beers, tridax procumbens, my cat Niemoller & rat Ginsberg and drawing pictures of birds.
