THE phone, screen illuminated, sits poised on the table between us. We look at it, the choice that can be put off no longer weighing heavy as a chandelier. “I think –,” an agonised pause. I’ve broken the silence that cannot be retrieved. “Godzilla × Kong.”Joey meets my gaze. He nods. His half chicken glistens. The deal has been done. I’ve always struggled to fully articulate my relationship with film. I think I would love to be a cinema polymath, and yet I have done little by way of making this happen.

A short story about a dog and featuring a Vanessa Carlton song. When she falls asleep in the furniture showroom she sleeps like a hog. She’s wedged between two untraversable rolls of carpet; their textures the same as the Kerry Blue Terrier she gropes in the park sometimes. One carpet is maroon, the other fawn, and she feels held and nuzzled, like a popcorn kernel between a flap of gum and a half-erupted wisdom tooth.

In December 2021, I did a month-long artist’s residency at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, based in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. It was an intense, deeply transformative time — because of Covid restrictions there was no organised communing with the other artists, and the building often felt very empty. This suited me perfectly, frightened as I am of new people.​I’ve always had a predilection for solitude, albeit one that does not necessarily serve me in any way.
