I had a thought today that writing is like staring at 3D paintings. You see nothing and then once you have loosened up an image becomes clear. Clive Thompson talks about the power writing has to clarify half formed thoughts. I am now wondering if pictures, in our times of…

Who is that?
Once you know you have food, shelter and a fair chance of not being shot at by militants (either voted in or not) you have the luxury to climb further up Maslow’s pile of rubble and check out the view. That would be you and I, standing there, because lets face it, I have the…
Read MoreYou Fucking Widget
It is no mistake that widget rhymes with idjut. This morning I meandered through my usual ridiculous and unrelated thread of impulses that dictate how my Saturday morning begins. I wondered what happens to all the gigabytes. This is my most recent version of the age old ‘if I jump in an elevator at the…

I saw your existence
I just saw your face – in an airport lounge Or rather, your features expressed on a stranger At least in side profile anyway – For three seconds as I walked by. Who would have thought ? More than a decade has passed Since I rushed home And flung open…
Read MoreThe Here and Now
I just read an author with a voice so familiar I thought I might have written that prose myself. Then he used gaps of demarcation and I was envious of his process so much so that I use it here now. Present tense, read. Past tense read. Like…
Read MoreHomogenous Hegemony
where you can go and have that authentic experience I walk by vietnamese street food sold in stores made of plywood props referencing hawkers markets in our commercial ‘precincts’ competing for my eye against a backdrop of taco/burger/meatball ‘bars’ and when I see factory mass produced industria it’s all I can do not to have…

Hard to title this one. It goes out to people who have had a brain injury. Mark Wearne, this is his quote.He had an aneurysm age 40. I was on the toilet when I found out: “you are fucking kidding me” were my first words. What a journey, what a road. Anyway a couple of…
Read MoreThe End of Days
Grief is the certainty that ahead of you is something else you never chose. It’s that wilted rose. That empty wall. The blank stare that meets your gaze. It is the end of days.

Read MoreWhat happens in a month?
People come and go. Patterns emerge. Plans change. People get born. Others die. We watch. We play our games of coming, going, planning, changing. Life is a twittersphere. We post our best us. Some people like, retweet, favourite or follow. Others block. We catch on to something that takes our fancy, and miss things that…
Read MoreCatfish
My daughter got me into this Catfish TV series. Being a movie freak of course I had already seen the docudrama. People meet online. Strike up a bond. Transfer onto each unmet other some incredible yet tenuous bond. Meet and discover, with heartbreak, that it was all a facade. That both sides in effect had…

Because woman aren’t pretty and men aren’t superheroes Because men look hot showing leg Because we deface the image of men And listen to the voices of women Because we ridicule the ageing rock stars and praise the queen of pop And women worship men’s lush lips and big tits And behave like predators …

Why do I love this concept so much ? I guess it plays to my soft spots. Being Melbourne, art, icons, dogs and coffee. Nothing else to say. @ACCA @SummerSaltAU …art of Anastasia Klose …blurry photos courtesy of caffeine deprived moi
