Finally, the book’s origins grew out of a writer’s residency at Jerwood Visual Arts in 2012, during the exhibition Now I Gotta Reason, curated by Marcus Coates and Grizedale Arts. To that end, I would like to thank Sarah Williams, Shonagh Manson and Oliver Fuke at Jerwood Visual Arts and Adam Sutherland at Grizedale Arts.
