I've a theory (based on nothing but my own conjecture) that as owning property has become less attainable, cars have become a way of establishing status, adult progress and permanency through the rite of ownership

I'm grateful to National Library of Scotland and University of Glasgow for support making Childish, and to Cove Park where much of Blame was devised and shot.
