Context:
UOWCIII was on a swing that swung on a thin string like a Puppet in a Puppet show, afloat with no wings, but two walls folded inwards and outwards and they flopped and fluttered and waved, and through a delicate scene of Strawberry and Raspberry Jelly squares, the wings showed the greatest momentum you’ve ever seen in a tiny set of wings from a thing not even “Real” to reach a place you’ve never been, from the invisible machines in-between all that is unseen.
A swing that swung on a thin string like a Puppet in a Puppet show, afloat with no wings, the Jelly squares became puddles and inside them we saw, beyond the floor, more than our reflection - a wonderful dimension of questions and introspection - an “Idea” of the imagination.

Context:
Three faces, and two smiles facing the same way, yet when one juggled a single juggling ball, the other smile took the juggling ball for a walk, like you’d take your dog for a walk. And there was a small hill below the string, yet the dog that looked like a disk didn’t fall further than the string, as each shape has a link that clicks into place as the faces await for the strings to take their place, but they always swing and they are always moving, like your eyes even whilst dreaming, always moving through separate squares that lead you to a vibrant funfair that you didn’t know was there. Everything we can see, we can see is right there, but yet to be seen is a brochure to share, to see all world's curiosities and the quiet unawares.

Dimensions: 59.4 cm x 84.1 cm, 23.4 inches x 33.1 inches
Context:
A juggling butterfly came down from the sky and ten black and white finger-like people smiled like a toy. UOWCIII was guiding the butterfly inside with a piece of string where hundreds of invisible swings were waiting for the toy to land. It was like a sweet shop inside with Doughnut slides and child-like visions of the world spinning like a round-about. Some would be dizzy but some would see clearly to adjust the frequency and to see that everything we see is a miracle to be.
Amusing, but calm and perfectly pleasing, joyful and bright, a sight of worlds flourishing, things singing from the beginning and hope that is happiness, where the toy may land, and all of these dreams are right here, in the palms of our hands.

Date: 20th April, 2024
Dimensions: 59.4 cm x 84.1 cm, 23.4 inches x 33.1 inches
Context:
We jumped through a cube that was as slippery as an ice cube, as clear as a dream, and as exciting as an Ice Cream. There wasn’t a door on the ice cube and we didn’t know we could jump through “Objects”, but there was a loop - an endless loop, a circle, a spiral, and a hoop. And then we were there. UOWCIII had a shell on its back like a tortoise, but had four legs like a Horse, a Donkey, a Goat or two Turkeys.
The ground we walked on was a warm, soft red and some sections of the turf was yellow like a lemon, and without any smell to see, we could see what we could smell as a big jug of cold squished lemon. Just below the lemon turf was this little roundish white character, and happy did they look, with one hand resting on their cheek and a smile that was spanned as wide as the Paper Aeroplane could fly, but it didn’t land and it didn’t loop, it was not a circle, a spiral or a hoop, but an “Idea” in the sky where hope flies, and we realise the spectacles of an infinite surprise.

Medium: Digital
Date: 15th April, 2024
Dimensions: 59.4 cm x 84.1 cm, 23.4 inches x 33.1 inches
Context:
We saw a white Duck with a yellow head and two arms and two legs, and it was juggling with a single juggling ball as two walls launched into a familiar world, with “Objects” from a toy we imagined flying in the sky, but from somewhere which we hadn’t physically seen before, in a segment of a random dimension, almost afloat like a toy boat on a soft, striking water that was purple and blue, the water, no more colours, just two, until the green turf rotates and the sky rotates and everything spins endlessly in circles of flourishing multidimensional loops.
So similar, but distant enough for infinity to be connected by a string that’s scalable to a viewpoint of the most exciting playgrounds that we can see with our own eyes, and touch with our own fingertips - and when we press the button the spectacles launch and we see the original toy boat and all the same walls, the same water, but something more clear in our minds, suddenly redefines, a miracle in our eyes.

Context:
It was the Bear with the red ears we saw first and then appeared UOWCIII as a pink egg with yellow arms and yellow legs. Then we saw the orange walls that stood like solid trees with fruit that’s not to eat but to see one segment of a story that speaks with pleasantries."
The Bear thought, “Why is UOWCIII balancing at all?” But in these worlds, it seems, things balance where things otherwise wouldn’t at all. From a flying Paper Aeroplane, we saw a miracle, where something may never land but always stays afloat, a vibrant world of hidden notes in toys that are always the brightest cheer of hope.

Date: 22nd April, 2024
Dimensions: 42.0 cm x 59.4 cm, 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches
Context:
Today UOWCIII looks like a Lemur with a body that splits in half horizontally to open up like a barbecue or a book laying on its side, but if the book did lay on its side all the words and pictures and people would fall out and walk off, or fly, or they might find the toy, the Paper Aeroplane in the sky, but it will never land.
So perhaps it’s a barbecue after all, if not we’d have to gather all and lead you to a wall that opens to a playground gliding above us, and from upside-down we see the right-side up and from the right-side up we see the side view of a clearest blue sky and all questions of why subside into the clarity of a vision as clear as new. Everything around you is vivid, vibrant, flourishing, and amusingly simplified, the simplicity of tangibility as real as the unreal.

Dimensions: 42.0 cm x 59.4cm, 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches
Context:
UOWCIII wore a Jester's hat to be for the day an Acrobat, to play magic tricks and juggle as always, in hallways and doorways and until it rains Jelly made of Strawberries. Two little smiley people held one foot each so UOWCIII could reach, and all of a sudden the juggling stopped as the juggling ball was balanced on the top of a single finger-top.
And the magic trick stopped the clocks tick as all three faces saw worlds multiplied and Doughnut Slides were well supplied from the ceiling they came from, as picture-frames framed worlds that never conclude, where nothing's presumed and all is pursued in pursuit of the root of hallways and doorways, for all games and all tricks to wear a Jester's hat, and to be for the day an Acrobat.

Dimensions: 42.0 cm x 59.4 cm, 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches
Context:
We found a cube on the floor through a circular door and we saw a Rabbit with wings performing, and someone diving down to the grounds where we see parallel logic and corresponding illogicalities and they line up just like a Child’s vision of a bus built with chairs and everything accelerates with no wheels in sight, as we watch as the excitement of something so motionless take flight.
We imagine wings propelling and wheels moving so fast we cannot stop to see, and through a wide desert expanse we see the dust from the warm roads suddenly stop half way through the air. We unfold the palm of our hand and between the lines land the smallest piece of magic, the sweeping panoramic of all things dynamic and immersive worlds where we see the prosper of every dream's traffic.

Title: "1404241624"
Medium: Digital
Date: 14th April, 2024
Dimensions: 29.7 cm x 42.0 cm, 11.7 inches x 16.5 inches
Context:
We were walking on a warm pathway. It was a warm day and everything was glistening, and until today, we thought only certain things glistened, but surely we were wrong. We saw the "Idea" glisten in the sun, as the "Object" reflected none. The "Object" was a pebble, smooth, but not shiny, and in no way of the sun did it shimmer - not a single glow - but then it blinked - a single blink and in that single blink it made us think, it made us imagine the water that swims and sinks and splashes light where a pebble passes."
Inside the blink we saw the world, "Where The Toy's Still Flying!" The surprises that define the smiling rhymes and the worlds that are thriving in all wonder that arises, on a warm pathway on any random day.

Context:
We see two little “Clowns”, and one slightly smaller than the other, both with, it seemed, perfectly round heads. Always smiling, it was as if they were staring into a wondrous world of universal viewpoints that were rounder than their own rounded heads. And in circles they dreamed, as we walked in circles around a green turf area that absorbed the warmth of the sun, and without a shadow in sight, we experienced the reflection of the light of the “Ideas” that span before us in three luminous circles.
The grounds we walked in were soft and light, subtle and bright, smooth and skewed, of spirals, stripes and squares, and subtly distractible by the happy face that swung from the walls that saw the silent signals of synergy creating the simplicities of a section of a lucky Mega-City - and always smiling - always dreaming - always hoping.

Date: 14th April, 2024
Dimensions: 29.7 cm x 42.0 cm, 11.7 inches x 16.5 inches
Context:
This side where we see one arm is one side of one world - the other side is the opposite where the other arm might be, and three more faces smiling at you about what they saw and how much more there is to see.
Like endless fruits on a tree, flourishing with the whole world that is launched into a spectacle of dazzling lights and colourful curiosities that invite you through a pathway of the greenest turf, where all your senses await for something unfamiliar, but familiar enough to realise that when you get off the roundabout, this is "Real" and everything that spins is the heightened sense of consciousness - the flawlessness of what's just happened and everything left to imagine.

Context:
A yellow beak and a green body, an unusual looking Duck that possesses every bit of luck - it could swim - it could fly - it could walk - it could waddle, and everything, it was pleased to see.
The sky was stripy like a circus tent and in each outer stripe was a world inside where wonder would hide, but when the Duck comes the wonder is there, sitting silent in the walls then silent in the air, and through the softness of every square there's curiosity somewhere in there, where all good things play, and fly silent in the air.

Context:
We saw a playground and here we found colourful grounds and wonderful sounds and exotic "Objects" that spin as fast as a spinning top, around and around and around. One wall was sloped and down came the joy of the toys, with soft voices as smooth as something invisible, and they flew through walls that were rather unmissable, like the brightest dream and the most alluring sweet shop - the exciting things that never stop.

Dimensions: 21.0 cm x 29.7 cm, 8.3 inches x 11.7 inches
Context:
We were in the Paper Aeroplane looking out into an open expanse. It was as if everything was infinitely connected, as one segment of fantasy flew to a section of visionary dreams. This was something we imagined in an instant "Idea", but not as the usual prospect to hear.
And suddenly, all things were all gathering as one, and these thoughts were queuing where "Objects" began, and from where we looked out from we could see exuberant structures of imposing skyscrapers and acres upon acres of child-like anticipation of colourful new worlds and futuristic habitation."

Context:
It looked like a Fish swimming past and then we realised what it was - it was UOWCIII juggling again. It turned out that there was no Fish after all, but lots of walls and lots of squares and stripes. We arranged things in our minds before we arrived and now we step inside - an elevator that elevates the world and then we realise what it was. It was a random combination of simulations - a forecast of potentials - all experimental.

Context:
At first there was just whiteness, and then shapes we recognised arrived just after us. We always knew they would be here soon, but in the whiteness we saw other things too - we saw a few faces smiling, and perhaps that's a clue to the things we once knew. T
The shapes we recognised were as dramatic as a circus, a vibrant spectacle that you'd maybe think would surpass us, but these worlds are us and only preserve us, with a purpose of wonder that only would spur us, with happiness and joy in this world of the “toy”.
