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.

Celine Roberts- and art for Change

If You get a chance check out this website. it involves the art and musings of Celine Roberts, a curator and practicing artist I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Through Gallery Eight.

Her work and words have a real zest for life (and beyond) and she articulates many topics that are close to my heart through the themes she weaves together in shows and her essence of 'play' in her otherwise serious works. Often I gather elements I like and are curious about, from a variety of sources and let them sit and settle into their own conglomerated understanding or plateau of philosophy- (this often takes time and a certain comfort with temporary expansive confusion). With Celine's work and her words it seems she gets it in one, and I am content without placing her thoughts and art material into a melting pot of my other gatherings of the day. So I am a fan!

I hope she stays brave and gets braver with her art adventures!
Please take a look.
