Feeling a bit dry in the mouth? A bit paranoid? Disengaged? Vulnerable? Memory failing you? Lost your bearings? Lost your pants?

Maybe you’re stoned. Maybe you’re in the desert. Maybe you’re a part of modern society. Maybe you’re Stuart Bailey.**I.C.A.N. presents this new video/sculpture installation showing Stuart lost, confused and exposed in the harsh landscape near Palm Springs USA.

With his unique strand of absurdity and tragic-comic humour Stuart exploits ideas associated with pot use – such as forgetfulness, thirst and a disconnection from the realities of life – to represent broader social and environmental disengagement.
