Hi Patrick

Sorry I was slow to thank you for sending the performance piece from the Respond night. I've been working in London and Edinburgh with minimal eamil access until yesterday.

I really enjoyed being able to read and reread your piece and I get more out of it every time I look at it. It's riven with passion and power and I think was the most engaging piece of the whole night for me. I was also very taken by your decision to offer up your own body to the process. And the reading out of our audience contributions was very moving - a kind of poetic bearing witness in the most mundane of language.

As an afterthought I felt that your piece could easily have been the last experience that we had rather than the first. Almost as if we hadn't really entered 'the world of the event' before we were being given a very strong element of it. But hey, getting everything you all got together, together, in such a short space of time was some achievement.

Look forward to engaging with more of your work over time. Cheers, Peter

Hi Patrick

Loved your performance piece last night in the Respond show. I'm the guy who drew a screw on your right shoulder! (I had a screw put into mine with a bone graft many years ago!) Hope it all washed off. (I'm also the guy who has been mentoring Brad Birch. Delighted to hear you're picking up on his work.

I was wondering whether you might consider emailing me a copy of your piece from last night as I'd love to read it now having seen it under the pressure of performance? My email is raiderpro@btinternet.com. Once again, congratulations. Best wishes, Peter.
