James
this is a good place
to start our #walkandtalk
on #hanburystreet
where there is a bit
of you and me

infant of #senzart
who does brilliant #murals
#bodyheads on our walls

“stick to the path”

Ash
your words above
along with
our video #onthestreets
. . . both disagree
to living life
from one day to the next
with ever so
boring intent
–
they stand for
the humble
the vulnerable within us
they want to fly
to flow where they will
–
so lets
let them be . . .
–
to be shouted
from the rooftop
be heard
over & through
the crowd
of the disconnected
& the vibe
of discontent
–
lets stand up for
the dissenting few

“early morning walkandtalk with Ash”

Ash
thanks for travelling so far
from Leicester no more
to join me, to be by my side
on our early morning
#walkandtalk
–
look through
that window over there
this void in the sky
this crack in the road

–

what can we see?
a gap to move through
a space to fly behind
a way #outofthehead
a playful poem
a #foundpainting
an urban installation
my imagination runs wild
–
yes kb
pop back down to earth
#backtothebody
as James
would say
listen to this
moment in time
we are at the crossroads
overthere
where we find ourselves
flung far
among the seeds
of life
of change

words in free fall arrive unbidden seeking out the hidden – – on a recent art residency in a collaboration with Ash I found a voice through words of conversational poetry – I discovered these virgin words are triggered by words and images from others or when #onthestreets on our urbanexplorations walkingwhiletalking – sometimes I am with another …

walk with me? – AliB come walk with me pop over to London we can plan a walk with two or four – my Andrew has read a book on historical city walks with tales of murders old churches burial grounds in fields of hidden buildings there is treasure to be found for that I …

“interweaving walks through burial grounds” – today I am on a walk on my own starting on #cityroad please join me if you are about – I have recently established through #collaborative play that solitariness effects sadness while togetherness is much more me – my Andrew has been telling me this for years I now …

“three standing tall”
on the studio wall
on this day
the 1st of March

at dawn
they break free
starting out
on their walkandtalk
playing their secret game
