Cursed. Singled-out. Lion confined to a mouse. Points. Pointed out and pointillised to pixel polygon. What is a pointer but the tip of who is pointing? You? A border, nib, edge to being. Well I am sevenfold, as are you. Be all 7. Layered cake of consciousness.

On Monday I laid my Dad, Clifford to rest. I a beautiful ceremony filled with love and amazing people. Thank you to everyone’s care, thought and intention the last 5 weeks since he has gone.

Today I share with you with a poem I wrote on the day he died. In my typical fashion I’ve transformed energy into creating something. As I did with image typically, I do now but in words. A CLIFF

After attending SISSY MISFIT’s album launch party - I acquired one of her iconic hats. This was a few days before starting the ‘GOD MOMENTUM III’ challenge in CHRCH (The Mystery School).

I’ve never worn hats before, but in this challenge it became some kind of uniform. Like physiognomy. Wearing a hat became a functional start top the day. I’ve always had functional outfits and clothing when to work - so what I wear has always been very indicative. I’ve had a hat on throughout this challenge and it’s only been off on cheat days. 

40 days later and during the challenge I saw that well, If the hat thing was staying - I needed my own.

I got several samples made, with several of my icons and insignia embroidered on it. Some have become tattoos on my body.

But the most important one  is the hex code for Lumen Red: #FF3C00.

And so it’s with this I’m launching a limited mail-order window for the hat. Embroidered in a bespoke thread on Beechfield B15 caps.

You can choose your typeface: Sans-serif or Mono.

The window is open now closes on the 7th April at 7:07am UK time only on: https://www.harryvincent.com/shop/p/the-ff3c00-hat

The journey to the world is inward. New is out. You is in. A trend cannot comprehend the power of self. Forget new, use what is. Know you, unlearn that. Old hat. Product™️. When getting nothing you can get everything.

Cut. Snip. Scalpel. Scoundrel. Slice. Screen. Scream in pain. Anaesthetic, the prophetic messenger of pain. Here it comes. Losing parts of yourself to fit in.

7 - 2 = 5.

Happy now? Happy to see me, more like you. More like, new. Less though? Am I more now I have lessened the difference? Or have I now just given up what “God gave me” - I wish I hadn’t in the first place.

I have to pay, to feel more myself? What a great world that is. That it is, existing. Pay to play. But this isn’t fun.

Diverge. Disperse. Go yonder and beyond. Infinite potential. Rays of becoming. Straying, praying to one. Become one. Whole. Singular. No-one like you. Like me. Like the few. One-of-a-kind (they say) but aren’t we all just the sum of what we’ve seen? Been? No. Nay, I say. More, behind the mask. Behind and in the vessel. Watching the mind, not are the mind. Experience the sensations of the globe. De-robe and un-prefer. Un-dislike. Un-avoid. Un-fear. Un-lust. Un-wind. Un-learn. For the path is just the one that exists right now.

Struggle, struggle to be, to me, to we, to independently be free. Flee-ing, fleeting fears of forbidding future-visions. Blackened - no - void of colour. Why colour? Such light as spectrum - life-bringer. Light. It’s lit.. But I’m not. Not for, until I see (if seeing is what you’d call it) the hot, lava-flow of stream from mine eyes. Burned-out (in more ways than one) and bore holes of breached not-black. Burned skin. Scorched Earth (The yesterday mindset). I wish my skin was Rains®. In coming out, what comes out I cannot control. Do you like me?

Exhausted and beaten. They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, as is despair, morality and what colour something is.

Truly no one has your lens.

The depth and overlap, the exact groove of them are yours. At best you’ll find someone at maybe 72% of you.

A behind, beckoning buttocks of the bludgeoned body of being. Don’t look back, though back is just blackness - and so is forward. Uncertain. Undefined. Unseen. Unforecast. Unloved. Unrendered. Unknown. Closing is the sliver of guiding light. Closing of the day, the dawn. Butt. Rising. Rising buts. Rising ifs. Rising what’s. Rising. No Compromising. Constructing is this light - light full thread of becoming. Become you.

The way that visual culture exists now, work that is ephemeral, clipped from context, and uncredited - is spiritually hollow.

I want to live in a world where image holds weight again and nothing exists without acknowledging its before.

I am building this world by embedding lineage and reference into my work, and designing with a visual language: linework and pathways with Lumen Red - which acts as a kind of spiritual infrastructure. Not nostalgia, but continuity. Challenging the fast, shallow culture.

I am for the people who feel like outsiders in their artistic pursuit.

Who want beauty beyond the surface-level.

That know there’s more to artist practice than hustle, and who hunger for ethical work and art that pulls you into light from the dark.

‘High-contrast Black printed portrait on acetate.’

As part of the WRKSHOP curated and run by Bronques over the last 8 weeks, all of the remaining artist participants - including myself - responded to the theme of ‘DUALITY’,  by constructing a piece of work before the final week.

I wanted to push myself and make something physical, and wearable.

As a Designer I’ve always strayed away from making physical works and then I had this epiphany - calling if you will - before Halloween to go more into the physical realm and not just make an ‘object’ (merely a photo translated) - yet when I look back I’ve always loved costume and cosplay as story-telling. One we week we had to talk to strangers - which alone essentially put me on this path - meeting Steve from East Essex Hackspace who delightedly told me about the facilities there - where I could complete something I couldn’t of before - making this acrylic diss physical and not just a mockup.

The piece answers the idea of “Do we become our parent(s)?”

The Continuance Cloak embodies the duality theme by merging the inherited weight of the past with the luminous act of self-redefinition. Both as burden and beacon. Lineage and liberation. It features bespoke acrylic dials portraying 2 previous generational figures (my. Granddad and Dad) with signature glyphic and data-centra frames, depicting Date of Birth/Death; Astrological signs (Sun, Moon and Rising respectively); Political parties, Football team and finally, whether on Dialysis or not (a worry of mine as both before me have been).

Highlighting the difference yet combined similarity of the shared lineage and my continued existence. The current chestplate is a rigged A3 backlit tracing pad with metal prongs to hold the discs arranged in a seven-pointed star shape. The base garment, made from 2 used leather jackets - cut and re-assembled.
