Blindfold of Prosperity...


Self Portraits with Blindfold



You may have noticed this idea being posted a couple of times before. Here, and here. Been fiddling around with it this morning hoping to develop it further. And these are the brief results. I think it has some potent possibilities.

The Economy Stupid...

Yeah, this would have fit better in the Howard era. But everything has its time. And apparently mine is way off:) I wonder if people would be so panicky if they just switched their TV's off?I know I wouldn't. But I also know, its not going to happen:)

When Hope sets sail...

You cling to the flotsam of meaning

The City is a Poem


During my classes in St Albans, I get pretty bored. This boredom means that I tend to fill pages with doodles and manic scribbling. Some of them looked interesting to me, so this work in progress is something I have been working on this weekend. The photo doesn't really do it that much justice, as it is eight A3 pages of bleed proof paper taped together and hung on my lounge room wall. So its pretty sizable.

It makes me think of how cities are sometimes these random patterns of structure that build up over time. ( except in the case of Canberra, as a friend pointed out last night:) There is very little planning as dwellings and buildings are constructed, ad hoc, as needs arise. Kind of archaeological, kind of topographical. Abstract. Also reminds me of circuit boards. Things connecting, yet random. Purposeful , yet purposeless.

Lets see how it goes:)

City of Refuge...

Well... not quite..


What I am loving at the moment, is the very different perspectives I get when I am in my local area, and when I am in St Albans during the week. Here, on a Sunday afternoon in Moonee Ponds, you dont see any marginalized people. You see alot of BMW 4WD's however. At least two passed me in the laneway today while I was doing this piece. You see a lot of hair product and fashion. Really... very hot people. In St Albans during the week, the view is very different.
