Watch the Video here she stands twelve feet above the flood / she stares / alone / across the water the loneliness grows and slowly / fills her frozen body / sliding downwards one by one her senses die / the memories fade / and leave her eyes / still seeing worlds that never were / and one by one the bright birds leave her… starting at the violent sound / she tries to turn / but final / noiseless / slips and strikes her soft dark head / the water bows / receives her / and drowns her at its ease… i would have left the world all bleeding / could i only help you love / the fleeting shapes / so many years ago / so young and beautiful and brave everything was true / it couldn’t be a story… / i wish it was all true / i wish it couldn’t be a story the words all left me / lifeless / hoping / breathing like the drowning man oh fucshia! / you leave me / breathing like the drowning man / breathing like the drowning man The Cure

The John Lennon wall in Prague is tucked away on a little backstreet in Malastrana (‘Lesser-Town’ ). After John Lennon’s death people began to leave various drawings and messages here partly as a tribute and partly as a form of Protest against the communist regime. Today it is still a place to leave a tribute to John or a message of peace. This image is part of a series of 15. If you are interested in viewing the rest please contact me.

Bedlam heartburn A series where I try to approach the fear of insanity. I believe that this fear is collective and that we all have to face it sometime, one way or another. Yesterday i went to the hospital and got an MR scan (Magnetic Resonance x-ray) to figure out where my headaches comes from. Got some strange and great material to work with :) Composite MR scan and selfportrait and a rusty iron…something Inspired by “Pink Floyd “Shine On You Crazy Diamond Syd Barrett Tribute This is a must see :) for music lovers.

This is my final self portrait. Today I had to challenge myself as I prepared for a concert – something I haven’t done in 18 months, and its frightening. As I looked at the cello I realised I had to document my feelings somehow. Its been part of my life since I was 5, I stopped in 2008, for dubious reasons. Nevertheless, thats the way it is, this is the way I feel. As I prepare for my concert tomorrow, I leave this here on the bubble. I stood in the doorway and looked at you / The decision had been made / My mother knew / Mothers always know / You were the biggest, but that wasn’t all / You were to be my greatest love / My hopes, my dreams, my salvation But I’ve left you We danced through life together / I hid behind you so many times / My father could not see me when you were there / I could pretend he wasn’t there / Mum told me that it everything would be ok / That I could channel the pain / With you between my legs But I’ve left you You were my greatest love / Do you remember that gold leaf / That fell from the ceiling, landing on you / So gracefully / Like a sign, you are me, I am you / We were known, you and I / I hid behind you and basked in the glory / We touched people together, we made them cry / But it was my tears that they cried / No-one elses / They just didn’t know Why did I leave you My little bones, they grew around you / My fingers are still bent / I bled for you my love / But you gave me my life, my passion, my grace / My legs are formed to hold you / Deep inside me, further than they know But I’ve left you We lured the men, you and I / They fell in love with our passion / They were jealous of what we shared / But only we can know / They never understood. / The girls at school, they taunted us so / Barbed wire hair, buck teeth, no breasts / But I knew / They knew / We had a love they’d never have / We had a hope, a dream, a purpose, a life But I’ve left you Where did I go wrong? / Why did I turn my back so ruthlessly against you / You stand in the corner, jilted and sad / But like a dog, you wait until I find you again / No drug can heal my wounds now / I don’t know how to join you / I know you are the only answer / But who cares, who knows / They don’t hear it any more / I feel you deep inside me / I know you’re the one / Who gives my life a meaning, a purpose, a way But I’ve left you Please be patient / I feel you when I touch you / I lie to you everyday / And when I touched you tonight, / When I pulled the strength from below / You sang for me my love / You sang for me my love
