Excited to announce that the second edition of 𝘐𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘮 is now available via the link in my bio. Published by @borough.inc

*

In Memoriam is a body of work that responds to the pervasive trepidation, unease, and latent sense of apocalyptic inevitability that pervade contemporary life.

On 28th January 2025, the Doomsday Clock was advanced by one second, now standing at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has been since its inception in 1947. The clock, a symbolic gauge of humanities proximity to self-destruction, positions midnight as the end of civilisation itself.

Conceived as a cathartic reflection on these anxieties, In Memoriam engages with the pervasive uncertainty and quiet dread that shape our collective consciousness. Drawing upon mediated imagery, fragments of memory, and dreamlike impressions culled from the ceaseless torrent of visual culture, the work seeks to articulate the disorientation of moving through a world teetering on the brink. Across photography, print, and textile, the series becomes both an act of mourning and a document of persistence, a contemplation of life’s passage amidst the slow, inevitable drift toward catastrophe.

“Don’t wait for the Last Judgement. It takes place every day.” - Albert Camus.

𝘖𝘞𝘈 - 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘺 𝘉𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴
@industrialcoast

Empty Bliss bears a fresh offering from OWA, a panoramic survey of oblique rusting, decaying and evaporating childhood spaces drowned in memory, recalled in dense layers of drone, pulsating subterranean dub, in clicks and hushes of spectral glitch and warped samples.

Recorded in 422. Winter 2025.

Limited edition cassette out 27th March via @industrialcoast
