The Swynnerton Plan, 2015-present This project has included preliminary attempts at paintings based on redacted documents, growing tea and coffee plants from seeds and public distribution of printed information. The Swynnerton Plan of 1954 refers to British colonial agricultural policy in Kenya implemented during the Mau Mau Uprising. The plan aimed to intensify agricultural production through cash crops such as tea and coffee; removing indigenous populations from ancestral lands, redistributing property and displacing hundreds of families. This period of colonialism includes some of the worst atrocities and human rights abuses committed by the British Empire and thousands of documents from this time have been destroyed, hidden or redacted so the truth of these actions (among many others) are still not widely known, acknowledged or included in education about British history.

Single Yellow Lines 2016 - present Single Yellow Lines is an interdisciplinary project investigating the characteristics of singular painted gestures. Can single painted gestures tell us anything about individual moments of creativity? This project invites people to paint single lines - both controlled and expressive - in artistic, public and experimental contexts. Single Yellow Lines is exploring and recording moments of painterly action in a series of creative environments. Around 500 people have been invited to paint single yellow lines; as part of an art activity at Rare Dementia Support Groups, in one-on-one conversations with artists, scientists, people with dementia and carers, and at public talks and events. The project has been further adapted as part of the “Am I the right way up?” Study investigating balance, movement and perceived verticality for people with Posterior Cortical Atrophy - an atypical form of Alzheimer’s disease which predominantly affects visual and spatial perception. Further artistic experiments using virtual reality and data-as-sound are currently being explored. The project aims to highlight the individuality and complexity contained in a single gesture, whilst also developing innovative techniques and situations for recording, analysing, interpreting and storing artistic and scientific data. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The project will be touring throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant.

You should therefore never apply the information to your own situation without conducting additional research. Nor should you assume that all of the relevant material is included in this document. The world changes constantly, and information is always liable to become out-of-date. Most of the information relates to artistic instincts but do not assume that any particular item of information relates to any particular jurisdiction - artistic, scientific, spiritual or otherwise. For all of these reasons, you must not rely upon any information in this document, and I recommend that you take professional advice before embarking upon any course of action (or omitting to take any action) that has or may have implications.

Having regard to that interest, you accept that I am a free-builder and agree that you will not bring any claim personally against me in respect of any losses you suffer in connection with the project or these terms and conditions. This will not, of course, limit or exclude the accountability of 'the object' itself for the acts and omissions of our unknowing.
