Extraction head IV 2025 – 50 x 65cm, acrylic, pencil on canvas
The head itself is barely holding on. It’s been pushed to the bottom third of the canvas, half-submerged in a black, glutinous mass that looks like molten bitumen or coagulated ash.

Palantir already has 24 contracts with key UK public institutions, the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, the police forces, the DLUHC, and Coventry City Council.

Extraction head III 2025 – 30 x 40cm, acrylic, pencil on canvas
The moment the body finally gives up trying to hold a face together. Extraction head III has turned away, or perhaps the face has simply collapsed inward.

Extraction head II 2025 – 40 x 30cm, acrylic, pencil on canvas
“Extraction Head II” has crossed a threshold. The face is no longer being unmade; it has already been unmade and is now trying, with whatever is left, to stare back.

Extraction painting XI 2025 – 40 x 40cm, acrylic, pencil on canvas
I cannot shake from my mind the very real possibility that corporations working on Trump and Netanyahu's Gaza Riviera project will soon discover thousands of the most horrific remains of unaccounted-for Palestinians.

These paintings emerge from urgent, spontaneous acts, made in response to an accumulation of interconnected crises that refuse separation: Gaza, special economic zones, and the systematic extraction of public wealth while services atrophy

Between 600 and 700 billion dollars has already been spent on AI, the tech industry has to make that back before they even begin to make profits.
Read Cory Doctorow, we are being screwed, 2008 will look like a picnic when the AI bubble bursts.

Before Brexit, the UK was tied to EU rules that stopped governments from handing out public money to big companies just to boost their profits in SEZs. It was called “State aid”, regulations designed to keep things fair and prevent a race to the bottom.

Just how difficult was the cognitive test Donald Trump took?…the one he then bragged that he aced, while stating “these are tough questions…99% of the people that I’m talking to right now, meaning the people from the fake news, would not do well on those exams.”

What You Can Do About UK Enterprise Zones
I write about the dangers of deregulated free zones, I trace their histories, which have their roots in 'empire-building' and British colonialism from the East India Company in 1600 to Hong Kong and Singapore in the mid-1800s.

Forest City’s proposal is a plan to build a city for one million people on 45,000 acres of farmland, with a 12,000 acre forest in Suffolk.
It is my aim to ensure that affected communities are informed, empowered, and equipped to hold policymakers to account.
Hope you can join us!

On Wednesday, 4th December, 1.30 UK time, I will give a talk about how the rapid expansion of Freeports, SEZs, and AI Growth Zones represents a pathway toward charter-city style governance, of which Forest City in Suffolk may be an early test case.
