Alban Low's second sculpture, I would prefer a fair trial, under the shadow of the noose, is skulking in Whiting Street, words by Amilia Graham and Tim Welton. Foreign Bodies I have seen the weird animals and the little white flowers with divine appendages In the whites of the eyes- I have seen them in your eyes. Hold them inside, under the skin. Let rot. Go stale. Let them in. Amilia Graham In the land of Cockaigne The triple towers of Mammon Rise to the clouds From roots in grow-bags Of corporate snow Dead presidents Scowl From their lofty penthouse At pavement trash In the shadow of the noose Eager hearts Chattering like parrots Trade weightless pounds At the speed of electrons Ignoring the dull cries of Doorway beggars Feeding from the same trough Binary lives Ones and zeros Side by side High flyers and street bums Drop a dot and slide down The smoking chimneys pots From skyscraper to street The climb is slower than the descent But one end to the other Is just a step away Tim Welton Alban Low is involved in many creative projects including album artwork, publishing chapbooks, making films, maps, conceptual exhibitions, live performance and good old drawing. He is artist-in-residence at the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education at Kingston University and St George's University of London. Low spends his evenings in the jazz clubs of London where he captures the exhilaration of live performances in his sketchbook. This year he is working on a walking project about London Musicians from the 1920s-1940s. In 2018 he spent a week at grove with Kevin Acott where they published two chapbooks. See http://albanlow.com
