I left my notes on their sources in there, as I thought that might be a more interesting way of noting where they’re from than typing it up, and more fitting with the series. The process was to cut up newspaper articles about Donald Trump’s American presidency and reform them into moss-like shapes—a smallness, instead of a blustering bigness.

Inside are the poetic
effluvia of the ideal
repository of which turned
out to be the backs
of crumpled receipts.
To what may be your annoyance
– and for this I apologise in advance
– I have not merged the scans.
The line at the very top of ‘The Perfume Sample’ is meant to be its last.

The several hundred marker pen compositions I’ve done over the years were influenced by graffiti tags & all sorts of signs & symbols, from Vinča script to Chinese tortoise shell characters to concrete poetry. Unlike graffiti tags, which repeat the same word or glyph, each of mine is improvised, & therefore usually quite different to anything I’ve written before.

I haven’t done much publishing or any kind of shows, etc.

I always go by Whiskey Radish,

Over the past thirty-five years, there has been an explosive increase in scientists’ ability to explain the structure and functioning of the human brain. While psychology has advanced our understanding of human behavior, various other sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biology, have determined the critical importance of synapses and, through the use of advanced technology, made it possible actually to see brain cells at work within the skull’s walls.

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.
