Saturday 25th July 2026 I enjoyed a day trip to the electoral hotbed of Clacton-on-Sea with Julian Peddle (Centrebus and associated companies Supremo) on Wednesday.

I've always enjoyed films showing how things are made, and so British Pathe have done me proud here. And there are two more to watch too!
Above all, I love all the things about a physical book. From its weight, to its smell, to its slowly acquired dog-eared, cover-bent, page stained, wabi-sabi patina of cherishment. Then, if I must read a digital copy1 it will be via a service that lets me actually own my purchase. Specifically: NOT Kindle. Lastly,...
Surrender Dorothy, an artwork Banks Violette also said was not an artwork, 2026, painted plywood and aluminum, 70 x 93 x 48 in., via IG/banks_violette_616 Texting “Hi Banks! I hope you are well. Is that ‘Surrender Dorothy’ sign your piece? The owner of the property has asked me to help her sell it.” is a helluva way...
