"Everyone I know who would

lick the inside of my eyelid

is out of reach of their strong

muscles. Such tenderness is now

a biological myth."

- excerpt from "Year of the Untranslatable Animal" by Kassy Lee

Cornelia Parker's "exploded shed": https://chisenhale.org.uk/project/cornelia-parker/

"The work parodies the Big Bang; the beginning of the universe as a bench experiment in a garden shed. From the initial blast, matter flies out in the form of the shed’s everyday contents. This constellation of domestic appliances, sporting equipment, household objects, gifts and purchases are not exactly examples of the pinnacle of human development and civilization, but are at least a part of its copious inventiveness and folly."

"patterns are popping up everywhere"
