The current poem for 3AM Magazine is a wry critique of the fundamental absurdity and contradictions of the modern security state, in an age of digital thievery, distrust and increasing dehumanisation.

These three drawing translations are part of a collaborative project called Semechki (Семечки) which I have developed with a Russian poet and filmmaker called Eta Dahlia. They are experimental translations of his minimalist Russian poems into gestural drawings.
These translations are entirely process-led. I made use of my very limited knowledge of Russian, allowing me to experience the poems phonically without the bias of semantic meaning. Translating the poems’ sounds into gestures became the basis of my systemic approach. I listened to each poem repeatedly for an hour, interpreting each sound as a separate movement and line. Throughout this process my repetitive gestural sequences produced an increasingly intricate network of lines, generating a tightly layered shape. My movements evolved with each interpretation, the drawing itself exposing their range.

We wrote it this summer while at Alec Soth’s “River House” art project, in which he invites writers and artists to his isolated, abandoned house in rural Minnesota to spend the day with him working on spontaneous art projects. In this poem, we each write one line. I started the first line, she wrote the next line, I wrote the following line, and so forth. We did not speak to each other while we wrote the poem.

‘Abandoned poem’ was created in Bristol, for Spike Island Open Studios, and was based on my finding some old drafts of a poem which I never finished and piecing them together.
The original draft notebook pages, complete with mistakes and edits, were displayed, and parts of the poem rewritten over and over on top of the pages with marker.
The poem became more and more illegible as the handwriting layered up, and the performance gave temporary life.

Could a bow with no arrow even be taken seriously?
These are questions I sang into at karaoke bars, like a deflated exclamation mark.
Remember, an edge is something sharp and unforgiving.
Just imagine an octopus interviewing a pumpkin—THAT is marriage, that is the long ride!
In the end, the princess is always peeled from her shell.
Now, I am inside the wind-up hour, slowing circles.
I am nearing the cosmic inhole…
