“Seductive Amoebae imaginatively captures and commentates upon the bleakness of a society… the designer clothes… the reality television… the formatted talent contests… the billboards… the beggars… the neon… the prostitutes… the burger bars… the soulless coffee shops… the everyday horror that confronts us all… the collective components of a society… and the fragile existence we all teeter on: to be exploded… by… perhaps a chance occurrence: the death of a wife…the deforming of a child… the view of a street in a café… a painting at a gallery… an inane debate on the jerry springer show… an earthquake that is happening somewhere…”
‘I am surrounded by scum… I say I… I could say we… but who am I to speak for the rest of you… I am drinking coffee at a table in a café…the view from the window is of a street… It is not a remarkable street… it is in fact a hugely unremarkable street filled with cars and taxis and buses and stores and offices and people… I am watching this scene and swallowing fast… I am dragging on a marlboro light… my attempt to produce smoke rings failing pathetically… silver clasps rising and dispersing into the nicotine filled air… I am feeling nauseous… I despise everything around me… I need a coffee… I need something to clear my head…’
