If you’ve been in Leeds city centre over the weekend you’ll have noticed the bizarre walnut-tree-boat on Briggate. It’s part of the OverWorlds & UnderWorld ‘unreal weekend’ taking place in three desitnations in the city centre next weekend.

It’s a three day free multi-venue event – with live performances of dance, film, sculpture and music flooding the streets of Leeds city centre, Friday 18 May to Sunday 20 May. Join them at Briggate, County Arcade or in the Dark Arches and collect a map on arrival, and they will be there to guide you.

Find out more as they start to reveal more on their website.

“…. President Obama’s remarks last week about how, “personally,” it was “important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married” will seem mild and obvious. That is not to diminish the importance of his statement. It’s just to note that same-sex marriage is a historical inevitability—and what people say about it now, for and against, will be seen in that light.”

the Quarry Hill Family Tree, a project on which I collaborated with Split Design, a rather good local design firm on Quarry Hill, has reached all the way to the states, impressive!

the family tree was created for the first Quarry Hill Social - my brainchild - a way for all of the creative and cultural businesses and individuals in the area to meet each other

the tree was definitely the star of the social

check it out

and check out Split while you’re at it

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:03:36 +0000

“

You can’t save anyone from themselves. You will lose everything, attempting to play saviour. You will never, ever heal the terminally wounded. You cannot repair the damage already done by selfish parents, vicious ex-lovers, child molesters, tyrants, poverty, depression, or chemical imbalance. You can’t undo psychic wounds. You can’t bandage old scars. You can’t kiss away ancient bruises. You can’t make the fucking pain go away.

You can’t shout down the voices in other people’s heads. You can’t make them feel special. They’ll never feel beautiful enough, no matter how beautiful they are to you. They’ll never feel loved enough, no matter how much you fucking adore them. You’ll never be able to save the battered from battling back at a world they’ve grown to hate. They’ll always find a new way to pick up where the bullies left off. They will, in turn, become bullies. They will turn you into the enemy. They will always find a new method in which to punish themselves, thereby punishing you.

No matter how much you’ve convinced yourself that you have done everything in your power to prove your undying devotion, unfaltering commitment, unending encouragement; you will never, ever be able to save a miserable bastard from themselves. They will always find a way to spread their pain over a vast terrain, like an emotional tsunami which devastates the surrounding landscape; an ever-expanding firewall which singes everything and everyone in its wake.

The longer that you love a damaged person, the more it’s going to hurt you. They will mock your generosity. They will abuse your kindness. They will expect your forgiveness. They will try your fucking patience. They’ll sap your energy, and eventually they’ll end up killing your fucking soul. They won’t be happy until you’re as miserable as they are. Then, their incredible self-loathing will be justified by the perpetuation of a cycle, from which there’s absolutely no recourse. Once you enter their freefall, it’ll be nearly impossible to turn your back on them, and you’ll be racked with guilt; you’ll be frustrated by your own impotence; you’ll be made furious for ever buying into their fucking bullshit in the first place. And of course, the more damaged they are, the more charismatic, the more brilliant, the more sexually intoxicating, the more dangerous to your own mental health.
