I have a new website, but really I wanted to share it to say how brilliant @ali.eldarsa is. For nearly a year now I’ve been working with him to make a place to share things in a way that feels part of my work. When we began talking, I didn’t feel like there was much to share, or much that I was proud to do so. I’m grateful to him as someone who has really gotten to know my work, but also challenged my assumptions around it and why I choose to make work in the first place. Even older projects that feel far away now, he’s helped me understand how to not completely let them go. After almost weekly conversations, his is a voice I deeply trust but also take a look at his beautiful work!

It’s been a minute but I wanted to share some work from this summer which I had the pleasure to present alongside a group of wonderful people as part of my thesis work at Bard MFA. Speaking A (for two voices), four-channel sound installation, light filter, homasote panels, carpet, audio description, 2025 Central to the installation is a sound work composed from a set of improvisational frameworks performed by two vocalists, Axel and Christian Schneeburger. Shifting between ambient hums and moments of deliberate composition, the installation centres on non-linguistic modes of vocalisation, as the performers navigate a traversal of the voice—its internal contours and its relationship to the other. Axel and Christian’s improvisations work with both slippage and resonance as well as thresholds of instability through the different tones and textures of the voice. With the abundant contributions from ~ Vocalists: Axel and Christian Schneeberger Recording, sound design and mix: @richy_carey at èist sound Final image shows a print proof, which ended up as one framework. It’s in a little box frame I made for it and it’s Untitled, soft-ground etching on paper, 12.2 x 15 x 1.7 in., 2025 Photos by the brilliant @stf_landesmann

JACK ARTS Scotland has partnered with artist Adrien Howard (@______adrien ) to bring his ongoing project 'Models' to the streets of Glasgow, with the work exploring the process of creating a typeface combining textures and forms found throughout the wider work, developed with designer @maeve_redmond_ . Catch the work at our West Graham Street lightboxes and Osborne Street 8-sheet, coinciding with his exhibition at Glasgow Project Room. Read more about this project over on our site – follow our link in bio.

🎉 Happy Friday! 🎉 On the journal this week: Models Adrien Howard 06.03 – 15.03.25 Glasgow Project Room 'Models is an exhibition work from an ongoing project under the same name. The exhibition is an expansion of book-length poem and although initially temporary and working, the title began to propose a framework for a larger body of work of combined forms. By definition, the word ‘models’ speaks to a proposed structure and the work is generated through a process of building and unbuilding; it is through an exploration of form as a container and how subjects are expressed and survive within them. Adrien’s practice is concerned with text as a hybrid object and this often manifests in a multi-dimensional and poly-sensorial approach to writing through a visual language and the exploration of the poetic space through the different mediums and field recordings. Alongside the exhibition there are images from the project appearing across billboards on Osborne Street and West Graham Street supported by JackArts. These images document a process of working with designer Maeve Redmond to develop a typeface in response to the project. The type combines textures and forms found across this body of work, such as imagery within the poem and printmaking marks; these elements have been transformed into the foundations of the type and thinking through the visual excounter of a written language.[...]' 🎉 Image: Adrien Howard, ‘Untitled (pinboard- & other morning, marks inbetween)’, 2025, pinboard, etching and chinecollé on paper, falconry cuffs, leather, upholstery pins, etching & chinecollé on paper.

That’s the show closed today, thanks to everybody who visited! As part of the project I’ve been working with the wonderful @maeve_redmond_ to develop a typeface specific to the project. There are some works documenting the process on display around Glasgow. If you find yourself on Osborne St or West Graham Street they’ll be there for a few more weeks. Thanks so much to Jim and the team at JACK ARTS @buildhollywood for all the support on this and to Maeve for her brilliant work.

So here I am to say I have a wee show opening in Glasgow next week. I’ll be sharing some new writing and works on paper from an ongoing project, ‘Models’. There isn’t an opening as such, but there will be a reading event on Thursday 13th March, (6.00pm- 8.00pm) because that’s more my jam. I’ll be joined by dear friend and exceptional poet @k_.patrick . Someone asked me recently how long we’ve known each other and I said ‘not long’ but that’s not true really, unless you’re talking across lifetimes. All this is to say they have been a friend in life and writing and I’m excited to read together again after a long time! Models will be open daily @glasgowprojectroom Thursday 6th March - Saturday 15th March, 12-5pm or by appointment.

Last summer @lisette_may_monroe and I dreamed a little dream about a book we wanted to make and over the last year its been a joy to see it become a reality! We’re so thankful for the amazing words from Francis McKee (@fm8er ), Rebecca Tamás, Hussein Mitha (@hussmitha ), Juliet Jacques, Àkpà Árinzèchukwu (@akpa_arinze ), CAConrad (@caconrad88 ), Renee Gladman (@prosearchitectures ), K Patrick (@k_.patrick ) and Hanif Abdurraqib (@nifmuhammad ). . .
