Charcoal and chalk, 120×90cms. In the corners of our sweaty palms, nested in the secret lines twisting bizarre and unique. In the softest inane creak as the bones in our fingers curl. Longing, have you felt it in the tips of your fingers, pulling at the flesh on the inside of your arms? Have you ever felt your muscles jerk – sudden and violent, overwhelmed for a moment by craving? Brutal. / Irresistible. / It is a mundane magic – our own unconscious smile suddenly seen and caught, disarming and warm in a glimpsed reflection. As probability collapses. In the trickle of wishes at the back of our necks. / Beatific in hope; a frisson of what may be. If it might oh let it. This magic – a mute spell of touch…the spell of the never-seen small of our backs pressed against the warm belly of a lover. It is as magical as the scale, the startling magnitude of hunger as we kiss and kiss and kiss. Lips hot slippery hot against our own. The immersion of lust… a moment etiolated a welcome trick of tongues that in this at least cannot lie – but it ends! – a click of white teeth on stained. Breathless and sudden and sticky. Saliva cooling on our cheeks in the night air. / The lock; the click of that skin pressed so easily with such lazy comfort. I believe in never. / I believe in all the way.

A service dog is a type of assistance dog, specifically trained to help people who have disabilities other than visual or hearing impairment. Examples include psychiatric service dogs, mobility assistance dogs, and seizure response or medical response dogs. Service dogs are sometimes trained and bred by private organizations. In other cases, a disabled handler may train their own dog with or without the aid of a private dog trainer.

I just got this email from a friend and felt I needed to share it with you all… (NOTE: There are several herbal and organic SAFE remedies for fleas and other problems for both cats and dogs! Please see the bottom of this entry for links to online shops.) I found my (normally very healthy) cat today moving erratically in my basement, kind of staring into a corner. Dad confirmed that there was something wrong with him.. so we called the vet and she said that it sounded like he was having minor seizures(he probably had a bigger one earlier when we weren’t around, as we found vomit around his mouth and on his paws and vomiting goes hand-in-hand with seizures). On the way to the vet’s I mentioned that the flea medication, BioSpot, that my mom had applied a few days ago might be the cause. Lo and behold when the vet saw the greasy residue left on the back of my cat’s neck and confirmed that it was BioSpot, she told us that it was definitely the culprit. She said this happens ALL OF THE TIME with cats a day or so after BioSpot has been applied(it can happen in dogs too but apparently not as much). It works by being absorbed into the hair follicles and then spreads throughout the whole body. It’s a lot cheaper than the prescription stuff, but we bought it at PetSmart(a leading pet retailer) so we of course assumed there would be no risk. But I guess they (like so many other huge companies) are just out for an easy buck, because when you see websites like hartzvictims.org that have reported THOUSANDS of cases of cats seizing/dying from this products, you’d think they would be more aware of the problem. I’m sitting in my room, watching my poor cat still slightly convulsing on the bed. We’ve bathed him of course, and the vet has given him shots and medication for a month. He is slightly responsive to movement and petting. We have to monitor him for 3 days(and give him a bath every day for a week), and if he’s better after that he’ll probably pull through. It’s up in the air now. So horrible to see him like this. I have already contacted the local petsmart and talked to the manager, and will contact corporate when they are available. I have also emailed our local paper in the hopes that they will alert the public about this…and now I’m informing you guys! Spread the word…protect your animals… do NOT use BioSpot(or any other OOC flea medication). hartzvictims.org (hartz is the company under which biospot is sold) elversonpuzzle.com (about a dog’s reaction to it) Online Stores for Herbal and/or Natural Pet Remedies Only Natural Pet Store (where I personally shop) Drs.

“SEIZURE continued Artangel’s long tradition of transforming urban housing into large-scale immersive works of art.” – Artangel
“In SEIZURE, Hiorns’ most ambitious work to date, the artist precipitated an unexpected sculptural form within the fabric of a housing estate near London Bridge.” – Artangel
“For his first work within an urban site, Hiorns made a radical shift of scale and context, and developed an extraordinary chemical intervention in the heart of the city.” – Artangel
“British artist Roger Hiorns makes exceptional use of unlikely materials: detergent, disinfectant, perfume, fire and copper sulphate crystals. Transforming steel poles, car engines and cardboard architectural models into crystalline forms, Hiorns effects surprising, physical and aesthetic transformations on found objects.” – Artangel

“The walls and ceilings are covered in blue copper sulphate crystals, their rhomboid facets glinting in the gloom. Silvery shards of cold light spangle and wink and beckon. Every surface is furred and infested; big blue crystals dangle like cubist bats from the light fittings. Little wonder the flat has been abandoned: you’d move out, too, if the crystals moved in.” -Artist Roger Hiorns has found a novel use for a condemned flat
“These crystalline accretions are both fascinating and repellent; all this inorganic growth is alien and alienating, an invasion indifferent to life but also somehow like it.” -Adrian Searle on Roger Hiorns Seizure

The images for these three paintings kept bombarding me all through the nights, and were relentless until I painted them out. The bombarding had the nature of collated, rapid fire Gatling gun – like subliminal raw ingredients. It felt like I was having seizures the whole time of creation. Painting was like a fire storm! An explotion on canvas! There was no planning, technique, or preconception here. These came straight through me without stopping! I still have no clue what they are about or why they had such an urgency attached to them. Their intensity is very difficult for me to go back and look at now that they are finished…do not know why. I just had a sense that they have something to do with the transferrence or the taking of power. Sometimes I believe I am just an art lightning rod. I feel at least one more clawing to get out…. Would love to hear your insights!

If you ever find yourself south of the river, and wander east from Elephant and Castle tube station, through some suitably bleak housing estates, you will stumble across a derelict and boarded up 1960s housing block. You will probably check you know where your wallet is. If you head into flat 151, you will be greeted with a pitch black but clearly dilapidated interior of what was once someone’s sweet home. It’s dark, filthy and quite depressing. But if you clamber through a hole they’ve smashed in the wall to the flat next door you’ll find yourself in a copper sulphate crystal palace. You will probably check to see if you brought a camera. / ^That’s a light bulb, or was, or something. Robert Hiorns sealed off the interior of one of these flats, made it watertight and filled it with 75,000L of copper sulphate solution at 60’, then when it cooled to 30’ he drained out the liquid leaving this completely bizarre and quite impressive installation known as Seizure. I recommend.
