About
David's work exists at the intersection of poetry, systems thinking, mythology, rhythm and observation. With a background spanning decades of computing, programming, engineering, electronics and musical repair, his creative work often reflects the mindset of a builder as much as a writer. Ideas are layered recursively. Small details return later with altered significance. Humour frequently conceals darker mechanics beneath the surface. What may first appear whimsical gradually reveals emotional, philosophical or existential weight. Across the Six Wigwams universe are poems, stories, one-bass compositions and visual environments. Recurring themes emerge, not simply as subject matter, but as structural architecture. Time, duality, memory, continuity, humour, fracture and inevitability appear repeatedly, echoing across different forms and media like connected signals travelling through the same underlying system.
The Six Wigwams project itself functions less like a conventional collection and more like an interconnected continuum. Rhythm is central to the work. Spoken cadence, repetition, internal beat and pacing shape both the poetry and prose. Dialogue often carries oral storytelling influence, while silence, gesture and atmosphere are used as carefully as words themselves. Throughout the wider body of work innocence meets catastrophe, fragmentation finds continuity, noise and stillness, welcome system and soul. The one-bass recordings featured here represent a deliberately constrained branch of a far wider creative ecosystem. Rather than presenting fixed answers, the work repeatedly explores the hidden structures beneath identity, memory and perception. Readers and listeners are invited not simply to consume isolated pieces, but to enter an expanding symbolic geography where themes, motifs, places and voices quietly recur across years of interconnected creation. At the core lies a fascination with what remains.
