I asked Max to make an image based on this sentence:
'I tried to warm your heart with boiling water but it burst into a million pieces'
This was based on a text sent by Emily, and was also a throwback to Max's story about the exploding dish in his first video to Emily.
Max responded with a little tin box, with a note attached saying 'I tried to warm your heart with boiling water but it burst into a million pieces on the floor. I tried to pick all the pieces up but this is all I could find'. Inside the box was broken glass and pieces of beetroot. The package was rewrapped and posted to Emily with the same note.
Osvald: (muttering to himself). I think it’s all wrong.
Mrs. Alving: (going up to him from behind and putting her hands on his shoulders). Osvald, my dear boy—has it been a great shock to you?
Osvald: (turning his face towards her). All this about father, do you mean?
Mrs. Alving: Yes, about your unhappy father. I am so afraid it may have been too much for you.
Osvald: What makes you think that? I came as a great surprise of course; but, after all, I don’t know that it matters much to me.
Mrs. Alving: (taking her hands away) Doesn't matter! That your father was so desperately unhappy?
Osvald: Well of course I feel sorry for him, yes of course, the same way I would for anybody but-
Mrs. Alving: Is that all? for your own father!
Osvald: (impatiently) Oh yes my father! I never knew anything about my father. all I remember is that he once made me sick.
Mrs. Alving: That's a dreadful thing to say. Surely a child must feel some affection for his father, no matter what?
Osvald: What, when the child has nothing to thank his father for? When he has never known him? Do you really cling to that antiquated superstition—you, who are so broad-minded in other things?
Mrs. Alving: That's superstition is it?
Osvald. Yes, and you can see that for yourself quite well, mother. It is one of those beliefs that are put into circulation in the world, and—
Mrs Alving: (shaken) Ghosts!
Osvald: Yes, you may call them ghosts if you like.
'Nuts in Mayis a 1976 television film written and directed by Mike Leigh. It is the comical story of a nature-loving and rather self-righteous couple's exhausting battle to enjoy what they perceive to be the idyllic camping holiday.
It is interesting to note the parent-child style relationship between Keith and Candice Marie, who appear not to have any form of sexual relationship at all. Candice Marie - who tellingly works in a toy shop - takes on the role of the innocent child, one who needs looking after and who is constantly confused and intrigued by her surroundings. Likewise, Keith assumes a paternal role, planning out their trip with almost militaristic precision.'
You are a crawler scrawler, er , or missed or sung to, or walked around or into and never but sometimes along one parallel line to those in the breeze or under that bird-cloud.
Excuse me, you are obviously little-mouthed and out of easy breathing time. We'll just let it rest.
