“It has been my quest since the beginning of my NFT journey to find the cinematic in Fine Art & Poetry. Starting in March 2021, minting on Opensea, spoken word poetry collaborations with some painters I know in my real life. It was a way of working I had been interested in creatively for several years before having discovered the writings of my late father, the art critic Peter Fuller, and his secret desire to be a poet ~ as well as the writings of Baudelaire searching for a connection between painting and the verse. An instinct told me that had they the technology to work in a way that created a single piece out of a poem and a painting, they would have. 

I also remembered a trip to the British Museum with the art critic Matthew Collings who told me during our walk around the School Of Caravaggio exhibition, that he felt cinema had overtaken what fine art once was to the masses. It all made me curious if the combination of all these passions that had been so close to me all my life art, cinema, poetry and performance could find a place through a singular practice in a digital medium and in the vibrant new ecosystem of NFTs. There definitely seemed to be a real interest from the early collectors on ETH.
