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.
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.
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.
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.
