I Love This City and its Outlying Lands

Sarah Hughes


• Horseshoe mask

• These bottles get smaller the higher you count

• Fuck your face in the furniture

• Orange lipear

• Octopus and metronome, grasping for berries

• My soil rolls up like dust

• Waiting too long for a good image

• A bar across the anus is fruit enough for all

• I might be small but you can see me and the wax in my ears

• Snail trails and falling faces

• Sharpened blades, keys and celebration

• This would be a better building

• Sit polite and fly the flag for socialism

• Bobbin moon

• Vertical land mass

• Shoot the coving and experiment with the tool handle

• A smoke filled nobody fits in the gap of interesting objects

• Three-dimensional and lacking interest

• Three

• Phantom coral

• Conjoined holly

• Limb tree gash

• Limb tree pork

• Brain shape

• Bone mass

• Corded worm and ceramic beef

• Fingers fuse and orange peel persists

• Killer air

• A line is drawn where the moon meets household items

• Cotton

• Deep sea set square

• Unfettered will fare the wolf

• An angel crawls out from a mandrake and sets the world straight

• Stones form from creatures and fall to the sea

• One grope next to your air

• Exhausted ventricles

• Sheep bone

• Here body

• Drawn to democracy

• When it rains the objects you love are soaked right through

• CCTV on a certain type of hammer

• Book

• A magic sack to keep your yellow in

• Image text, text next

• The plastic you desire

• Shark, shirt, mess, mesh, plant, snake

• A reward is given for the best inframammary fold

• My romantic landscape

• I love this city and its outlying lands




In 2015, Wolf Notes invited composers and musicians to write a short text about one of their own pieces. A word count of no more than 500-words was the only guidance given.

Sarah Hughes is an artist, composer and musician producing work that explores the boundaries of compositional practice, moving between drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. She is the the co-editor of Wolf Notes.
