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.

exploring the floating world. This time I am looking at the vehicles that take us places. Somehow these are stuck together and create new stationary spaces. Stillness capsules. Quiet places. The vehicles seem to be going in conflicting or at least opposite directions, creating a stillness in-between. I have posted some sketches below of new possible compositions and a piece I am working on at the moment.  The idea is still being considered.
