Two weeks ago I threw a pair of red Converse over a telegraph wire in Bethnal Green, I had extended the laces so the shoes hung down until they almost touched the ground, it took me about 50 attempts to throw them over. Thank you to the passing stranger who gave me a good tip of swinging one shoe like a lasso before letting go. I will also present a complete role of red duct tape coiled around the gallery walls, floor and ceiling in one continuous spiral. As well as new works I have revisited a few older works, I went to the Lake District with my Mum & Dad to find stones that weighed exactly one stone and found 10. I carried three in a rucksack and secured the other seven on a gardening trolley then with sheer determination just about managed to get them all back to London on the train. There is no ramp at Euston train station down to the taxi rank, I asked two workmen to help carry the stones down a flight of steps explaining I was a geologist and these where important samples.
