...knocking Michael Jackson's Dangerous from the top of the charts, the album fibrillated the psyche of a generation. It also launched the commercial vogue for grunge and made Seattle famous for something other than cappuccino, rain and bad professional sports. Before long, equally abrasive Seattle groups like Pearl Jam (a Nirvana rival), Mudhoney and Alice in Chains joined Nirvana high on the charts. The New Liverpool, Rolling Stone called the city in early 1992 (launching searches for the New Seattle...
Rather than increasing quantity, perhaps more funds could be used to help the council increase the quality of its events. Another $60,000 in the councils' budget would mean that it could invite, say, Pearl Jam rather than Machinery Hall, Eric Clapton rather than They Might Be Giants...

This work follows Blanks (1990-1), three glass disks of translucent pearl blue. The reflective nature of the work encloses the image of the viewer's body in an ethereal womb. So the transition from Blanks to Lid represents the moment of birth thrusting the viewer into a new world of light. The final work, Imagination Dead Imagine (1991) does not belong...
