"Appendicitis" is 36 printed cardboard boxes.

They form a six square grid.

Each cube holds six blue images.

They form a latticework of references.

Every element is sampled from elsewhere.

Interlaced images reveal densely compressed information.

Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, Maturity, Ageing, Death

Each represented by a historical personage:

The Artist, Peter Pan, Dorian Gray

James Ballard, Oscar Wilde, Joseph Merrick

Yet each has a fictional counterpart.

Doppelganger, Shadow, Portrait, Fictionalisation, Alias, Myth

Intersection points form a second grid.

Twenty five images suggesting further readings.

Each one is independent and interdependent.

Texts in row three are factual.

Fictions sit opposite on line four.

In the middle: Kurt Vonnegut's Anus.

A framed scar also suggests entry.

Exploring classical mind and body divides.

The body of knowledge's biologically decay.

Inevitable entropy infects the Cartesian grid.

Reminiscent of Pedagogical tools, children's blocks.

An epitome of an absent text.

On the wall; "b'heart'd", also gridded.

Seventy three redheads lifted from Seinfeld.

That show was full of them.

Seinfeld was engaged to a schoolgirl.

Dante's beloved redhead, Beatrice, was fourteen.

Jerry's girl, Shoshanna Lonstein was seventeen.

In the backroom: a video installation.

"Black Blank, Colour Color, Croma Coma."

A classical façade flooded with colour.

This hallucinogenic swirl emanates from elsewhere.

The building watches a second screen.

Flickering broadcast black to inert grey.
