Artist Statement
To Our Summer Nights,
22/02/23

 
To Our Summer Nights, is the second conceptual collection of poetry and prose birthed out of necessity.
This is the unavoidable sequel to Cold Wind Melody.
The trilogy continues.

 Bigger, yet far more intimately entwined with its author.
Nostalgia, love, stillness, the magic of the mundane.
Engage with this piece on a computer.
If you must use a cell phone, read the works on the provided PDF document.
If you don’t wish to read every piece in the collection, don’t bother reading the first.

 This time around I want to show you. I want to show you the dingy fish and chip shop I was in when I received that text message. I want to show you the shapes of the faces that defined this stubborn season.
To have the best experience, engage with the content in chronological order: 

1.      Short film

2.      Poetry and prose

3.      Photographs

 Remus brother. Thank you once again. Your devotion to helping me realise my vision is incredible. I don’t even recall formally asking you to edit the film.
Will. Thank you. You take my good ideas and make them great.

 This body of work is even more aggressive in its approach to redefine the way poetry is created and engaged with than its predecessor was.
We’re creating new ways to create.

 Let us bullshit together.

It’s time to give thanks

To Our Summer Nights.
