HELIOGABALUS
2013
120 page photo book utilising all the material generated by the Heliogabalus performance (2012)
Historians suggest that Heliogabalus (Roman Emperor) showed disregard for traditions and taboos. This work (a series of photographs) is the documentation of a short performance I undertook at PRIMARY. Using the power of the sun, I (playing the part of a Sun God, the Sol Invictus…the unconquered Sun) harness the power of the sun for regenerative purposes through an act of ritualism.
Heliogabalus ensues previous examinations relating to the thesis, ‘The Ark of Ills’. This life force is on an unhurried trajectory en route towards the cancelled state…the mystery of this state shall be made sense of in silence.
‘We’ll reap and scrape together until Bright Phoebus does go down’. Reaphook & Sickle (Trad.)

PRIMARY
15 notebooks for a VIP launch event
March 2012
Artists based at Primary were each given 15 books in which to produce an artwork. These books (approximately 200 in total) would then be distributed to VIPs during a studios launch event in March 2012. The contents of my 15 include a fridge magnet, and the design of which is taken from one of the original Edwardian tiles in the studio that I renovated. To accompany the magnet are five reproductions of sweet wrappers circa 1970’s. Each wrapper is placed between different pages of the notebook...and rather unfortunately not among them; a facsimile of a ‘Mint Cracknel’ wrapper!
