The future sits on the edge of Now, and in the blink of an eye slides to a place called the Past. It is ever-present, ambiguous, haunted by terrifying possibilities and incredible potentialities. 

These pictures, by Kieran Monaghan of vegetable.machine.animal, mr sterile Assembly, and skirted Records, are an unintentional outcome from a residency at Driving Creek Railway in the Coromandel, 2023. In between recording, sound-searching and experimentation, tiny vague words, missing punctuation and clarity of meaning, intentionally mis-readable, and multi-interpretable, appeared. Three or four word phrases that, sometimes, reference the connection species have to the world, and that includes us, and other times don’t. 

And somewhere in the simple act of scratching a phrase onto paper, abstractions appear and offer place for unexpected color, unintended form and unplanned results.
