"While solar flares either dissipate in space or are
drawn back to the surface of the sun, plasma
shock-waves surge outward, increasing the velocity of
the solar wind. On impact the earth's magnetosphere
warps like a tennis ball being hit with a hammer.
Powerlines blow as DC transients induce in AC grids
and submarine cables: ionospheric disruption distorts
or obliterates radio communications, GPS reception and
TV: satellites malfunction and drift off course:
impulses in astronauts' nerves misfire: aurora
intensify in the sky: whistling atmospherics echo
across the nightside of the globe: it has even been
argued that electrical accumulations in the metal
structures of gas-pipelines and petrochemicals storage
have caused explosions claiming hundreds of lives.
While this coronal mass ejection may take anything
from 6 to 40 hours to reach earth, its emergence
through the upper layers of the sun's atmosphere
'rattles' local plasma exciting a radio emission which
reaches earth at the speed of light." Disinformation

DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE
Huge full velvia colour photographic prints on fine
art paper. A second chance to see the spectacular
that was claremont road - big frontline photos from
the two million pound legendary eviction - eco
activism at it's most audacious - if these images
don't inspire you then you are clinically dead.

Black n white archival selenium toned prints in
watercolour paper framed in wood...
FAIRMILE V TROLLHEIM
Photographs from two of the road protest camps set
up in the path of the A30, depicting the intimate
everyday occurences of life on a road protest camp.
A million miles away from the sensationalist
newspaper headlines of evictions. I stayed and lived
with these people (and caught their weird tropical
diseases) - the day i arrived there was a party of
peace as the two neighbouring camps had been at
'war' for six weeks - very Lord of the FIies.
+
TWIGLETS - AN URBAN ADVENTURE
Archival photographic comic selenium toned and
printed on oriental seagull fibre-based paper.
A photographic comic highlighting the plight of
Battersea Power Station and my thwarted efforts to
gain entry to reveal the shocking truth that once
lay in store for the Eighth Wonder of the World. Now
relevant again as the new property developers want
to take the chimneys down and replace them with
fibre glass replicas! Or will they go bankrupt again
leaving a vast brown site unencumbered by heritage
restrictions - a property developers dream.
