On my morning run over the damp and quite nippy stretches of both Tooting and Streaham commons I had a moment of insight. I have been so caught up with ‘Jography’ I have forgotten all the people who make it possible for me to make art. The Arts Council grant application helps you to remember who is key to your process. To redress this I am going to introduce you to Steve Gorton.
A modest and very loyal friend, photographer, climber who helped me to make the video “Skatewardian’ and the stills for that and other performances. His pictures of me running whilst drawing are featured here. He does all this, and what is more doesn’t want to be paid. Well if my grant application goes through he will have no choice as he is included in the budget. And what a pleasure it will be to see that he gets rewarded for his work.
This afternoon I have turned my attention to what is the right footware for drawing and running. I think my new two inch vegan brothel creepers might not be suitable.
