The Fight
Fights most of the time took place at fight corner, I only really
had one fight at school, but, it didn't take place there...
The Skeggs Across the Way
"They're nutters", my mum used to say. "If I catch you hanging

Eight clinical biro drawings
depict the basic elements of a suburban upbringing - a local
comprehensive, a backgarden, the wasteground. On a television
a camera pans across each drawing as a male voice recounts poignant
episodes. Just enough information is given to make the scenes
specific, but not enough to be solely autobiographical.
6 x A1 . 2 x A4 biro drawings
on paper - black lacquerd frames, glazed 1 x VHS PAL cassette
- 8 stories, looped (TV, VCR & stand). Titles: Auntie PamÕs
Garden, The Fight, Hanging Out at the Lampost, The Meadows;
