Metaphors

Sometimes a picture makes an argument faster than a paragraph can. These are personal, occasionally handmade, and not meant to be taken more solemnly than they're offered.

A Whac-A-Mole style toy, used as a metaphor for UK energy policy

UK energy policy: bash the mole.

Reactive, one problem at a time — bash whichever issue pops up next, rather than redesigning the system so the moles stop appearing. This mission exists to do the second thing.

A hand-painted wooden artist's mannequin straining to pull two ornate cages forward

Dragging an old industry into a new era.

A handmade, half-serious self-portrait: heavy, ornate machinery — and someone still trying to pull it forward by hand.

A gym weight plate chained to a worn trainer

Chained to the weight of the system — and still trying to move.

A gym plate on a chain, tied to a worn trainer. The image is the point: real weight, still walking.
