Joke.Shop.Vomit - 2018
Rat Trap - High Street Arcade - Cardiff 2018

 

Imagine a drumroll that goes on forever: like history or memory, or a bad joke made good by over-repeating.

 

I often picture the factory where this joke shop vomit is manufactured. I like to think about the workers who make it. It’s been made by the same company since I was a kid, and is still being made today. The sick isn’t mass-produced with casts or moulds—every one is totally unique. Regurgitated carrots in differing positions, more froth, less froth, various irregular splatter shapes.
