heads and tails






"I left my evening’s dinner wrapped in aluminium foil. My coffee pot was once made by Italian 
Fascists. I drink my coffee and the earth turns a little and then of course the sun drags its
nocturnality over the city."
- ritchie frater

this exhibition gets under one's skin
with its quite meditation on bodies and metal.
nails and needles, disassembly and placement
and lavender oil and dust.
it was a while ago now,
but that's ok.
