back to a plan




Ironically, even though last weeks effort was only so so at best, it has provided me with enough raw materials, enough kernels of good ideas, to propel me into a new project. I am excited again.

this weeks project will utilize some photo's of book covers that I took at my job at the CARM archive. the photo's will provide the wall to a never ending hallway...

The music is all ready composed. a kind of reverse guitar piece.

Breaking the drought






Conditions ep 14 on Vimeo

I think that this could have been a lot better. But its good to do something again... its been a while.
I can go on to think about the next one...

project argus


the other week I took some photo's of the old Melbourne newspaper 'The Argus'
and it is only now that I'm putting those photos into action. The new piece is rendering as I write. Its nothing terribly complex, but just something to get me into the swing of things.
Moving forward

its a new week


photo by sdiver


I was at work the other day, and just as I was parking up my transporter to take a break Chin, my workmate brought to my attention the fact that somebody had arranged the spare transporters all neatly in a row...

I was immeadiately struck by the last lines of a Elizabeth Bishop poam I had read many years ago about a filling station.

Somebody embroidered the doily.
Somebody waters the plant,
or oils it, maybe. Somebody
arranges the rows of cans
so that they softly say:
ESSO--SO--SO--SO

to high-strung automobiles.
Somebody loves us all.

Elizabeth Bishop


This in turn made me think about Frank Llyod Wright's 'gas station'....
