Installation view		Installation view		1. Overwhelmed by the thoughts and the promiscuous silence outsourced by the companionship of the incessant hum		2. The strength of his painting lay in the weakness of his Sciatic nerve

3. A sweet marzipan bird on a leaper’s ledge sang singing songs of lease backed macabre memories		4. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum Free Option Purgatorial Purpleheart Penetration the Glandulous Glad-hand Evil Gism of Wisdom.		5. Like a raucous Nun on abattoir assignment an alkaline conscience devoid yet full of little witticisms. His time had past		6. The first letter and first vowel a macebearer that said don’t let children breath your smoke

7. Every Biro is empty		8. An Aardvark sat on his lap yellow flowering Aaron’s Rod bitter musk scent sent asunder with the sounds of dirt pelting the low wood roof		9. Bloated with dissatisfaction like a Puffer Fish it was all defensive but deadly bluff		10. Dwarfed by circumstance always surrounded by a culture that to know what is radical looks over its shoulder, that to know what is happening its what was interesting last time.

11. Boring paintings with gluttonous emptiness asking why only 203 murders last year		12. A decent person cannot have what they have, a decent person cannot get away with what they get away with without knowing they have got away with it when they should not have.		13. It seemed of little wonder anecdotally		14. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum Whylies Flat Road waddy wafer thin reasoning

15. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum Maison Diue Road the Gill Slit in the Gill Net		16. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum the Gabella Glacial Period		17. His first born he would call Second Chance Draw		18. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum Gresford Road Babbit

19. A title is always the first line of a novel never a limerick		20. His breath was a wireless signal		21. The wedding tackle in a winning scrum a punch drunk pounding lying on the pavement preferring lilac illuminations ignoring the screams to get up, get up		22. Phlomis Fruticosa Pennisetum Sedgefield Road Babinski Reflex

23. Abandoned abaft it is not inconceivable to see row after row abatement soliciting meaningless nothing in the everything
