‘politicised, faltering, broken & rebuilt many times over . . .’
- Paul Hawkins & Steve Ryan
The work was made during, or to perform at DIISONANCE, an exhibition of artworks by Steve Ryan & Paul Hawkins in June 2017 at Bank Street Arts, Sheffield. diisonance is a collaboration, part of a jigsaw, the genesis of which is shared experiences; Steve & Paul met in the early 90’s squatting in Claremont Road, east London at the height of anti-road protests, poll-tax riots & dissent. They’ve tried to piece together the past from the future, making sense of the ghosts that stay with them & the shared feelings of confusion & love for their entwined topics; politicised, faltering, broken & rebuilt many times over. Diisonance began as a response to Place Waste Dissent (Influx Press 2015 - 2nd edition Hesterglock Press, 2020) by Paul Hawkins.
