I’m preparing to return to London and make a new installation for MOCA (London). I’m excited and nervous – this is a big show for me and I want it to be a success for MOCA too. MOCA is Michael Petry’s gallery and project space, he has been running off-site projects for the last few years and my show will be the first gallery show in quite a while. Getting the show has been a great boost to my confidence, I admire and respect Michael’s own work and his curatorial acumen.
The show is an installation made from old vhs gay video tapes. I mean the actual magnetic tape – the wonderfully black shiny stuff inside the cassette boxes. The tape is so reflective that the closer you look the more you see of your own eye – which also means that it’s really difficult to photograph.
My hope is that the piece is both beautiful and thought provoking.
