FERGUS FEEHILY

Changing, altered.

Difference. Sameness.

Past, present, future.

‘Time, time, time, see what’s become of me...’¹

The same as always.

Different every time.

‘round about midnight.²

Portals.

Entrance and exit.

Pathways.

‘They laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian, well they’re not laughing now.’³
