Margate t-shirts /
A series of printed t-shirts that reference the key businesses of my Margate youth (most of which aren’t there anymore), in the way people covet vintage stores selling old American utility workers shirts etc:
Brandybucks, Martell Press, The Kent Hotel, Pisces, The Cottage, Franks, Thorleys, Club Caprice, The Golden Curry, The Ship Inn, The Nayland Rock, Baba Kebabs, The Badge Shop…
Who Needs Enemies... /
Every episode of the US sitcom ‘Friends’ recategorised to describe what the episode truly contains, using the established format description of ‘The one with…’
Such as…
in S2E10 - The one with Russ - Monica begins dating ‘Fun Bobby’ again and the gang realise he’s an alcoholic (hence why he’s so much fun). So they convince him to stop drinking and he becomes boring, so Monica breaks up with him.
So, ‘The one with Russ’, gets recategorised as, ‘The one with judgement of an alcoholic’
Champagne /
A multi-screen video (wide-screen monitors, installed portrait, to create a tall tower of screens).
On the top screen is a full-frame shot of a flute of champagne standing on a tray. The tray wobbles, causing the flute to fall from the tray.
In slow motion, the flute falls towards the floor, moving from one screen to the next, until we see the glass smash on the floor.
Once it has come to rest, the audio of a room full of people cheering plays.
The end.
Nike Air Bathroom /
This is a sculpture that consists of a pair of large Nike Air trainers nailed to the wall (the soles of the shoes flat on the wall, the shoe facing ‘up’ the wall, with the nail going through the toes).
The two trainers are positioned either side of a ceramic urinal divider, of the kind you find in men’s public bathrooms to divide the space between the urinals.
Positioned inside each trainer is a single urinal-cake (the perfumed cleaning blocks that are placed in urinals).
The sculpture should be positioned on the wall at urinal height.
