Last autumn, I started a website called A Selfless Art to document the book I’ve been working on since 2023. I saw it as a space to test ideas but it is a distraction and a dead end. I’ve closed that site and brought the project back here but I can’t work on the book at the moment. Not for the first time, I find myself putting my work on hold. It is not significant in these dark times, where ignorant armies clash by night and the best path is silence.
