History Repeats Itself


I often think about child's play and playing, whether it's being completely inspired by what kids can make, aesthetic-wise, or adopting an approach to making work that is about reacting purely to materials, messing around with processes or making things up as you go along.

Last summer Europa organised a series of talks in conjunction with Winchester School of Art, and Peter Nencini and I presented our Shared History of Play. I got terrible stage fright, but managed to mumble something about these images.
