'On Practice' is an experimental approach to documenting or mapping my current artistic and academic practice. The piece was produced alongside 'but what happened in the Summer' and 'Untitled (A Millenium of Mancunia)' as a way of understanding the relationship between the two pieces.

well it’s only going to waste
