Alec Finlay's 'today today today' reflects on illness & healing. The project combines an animation, blog, booklet, and poem-audio, created for his artist residency at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, Glasgow. Hand-written copies of the poems were gifted to patients. The project title is after a motto composed by John Ruskin. 

The booklet containing these poems is published by Playspace Publications (2013). The blog is available at www.alecfinlay-today.com 

The project is a commission by Animate Projects and is supported by Wellcome Trust.

Alec Finlay (1966–), artist and poet, lives and works in Edinburgh. Working across a wide range of media and forms, from microtonal sculpture, mapping and journeys, book and print works, to audio-visual and new technology, much of Finlay’s work considers how we as a culture, or cultures, relate to landscape and ecology.
