fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

Painting

 

all day everyday for the rest of my life in only i could inhale food and sleep with my eyes open

I wanted to document last nights embroidery/scribble efforts, (inbetween long phonecall and making dinner distractions) and see it in the sunlight. I am having fun with this one. will move onto tight serious paintings later. but for now. expand and gesture. blogging is rather addictive, I can imagine this will be a very boring web art journal.....yay filter!
