brain-block

You may be wondering where the hell I've been. Or not. But if you have, here are some awesome excuses for my absence:

- My printer/scanner has run out of ink. So what Lucy? You don't need printer ink to operate a scanner! Uh, actually, YES YOU DO. I am on the verge of writing canon an angry letter, outlining exactly WHY I think their printer/scanner combination sucks BALLS.

- I have just started a new job. This is actually very cool. I am now working for Stockroom in Kyneton, as their ... Thing. As a Thing, I do a variety of tasks, such as shopkeeping, smartarsing, writing, phone answering, coffee drinking, backgammon playing and even the occasional vacuum. It is very cool.

- I have BRAIN-BLOCK. This is clearly the most severe of all my ailments contributing to 'not-posting'. After two years of keeping my head down and spewing out a shitload of work, I decided I better start showing it quick smart. So I am and I did ... and now I have RUN OUT OF COOL STUFF. It is very distressing. I have galloped way ahead, booking shows here, and demanding awesome collaboration projects here (more info to come [if my brain becomes unblocked that is] soon) and then realising that I've been spending so much time doing THAT, that I forgot to make any work! ARGH!

So now I need some REALLY COOL IDEAS. Suggestions welcome. In the meantime, here is some eye candy that I recently made for my upcoming show at C3 gallery later this month.

Up close at the platform show

Hello all! I know I have been terribly slack as of late, but it's coz I've been busy DOING THINGS! (Obviously) Don't you worry, new work is in the works, new work is at the framers, it's ALL HAPPENING. But, for the time being, here is a little closeup from my current show, Sudden Flushes of Unconscious Material at Platform art spaces. You can see images of the whole show here. It's only got ONE MORE DAY people! So get your arses down to the Flinders Street Subway TOMORROW, because my Awesome Parents of Joy are deinstalling the whole thing first thing Saturday. Yep, ONE MORE DAY!

I reckon these dudes look like villains from a Disney movie or something. A really disturbed, fucked up Disney movie. That has mutant cats as villains. Ok maybe forget that idea all together ... I cut out about a billion butterfly wings today and glued them all down so I think the glue fumes have gone to my head ... aaaaaah ... 

Fuck This.

thinking about thought processes

Nekomata - 'forked-cat' (don't you love that the Japanese actually have words for such things?)

Now that the effects of about eleventy plastic cups of wine, have started to wear off, I have dragged my pathetic self out of the greasy-food-pit-of-hell to post some photos of last night. It was a great turn out - thanks to all who came along for a peek! 

And thanks to my Kent for these awesome detail shots!

one more sleep!

Hey all, just a friendly and pushy reminder that Platform August Shows opens TOMORROW NIGHT at 6 pm so get yourselves down to the subway to see some treats! My work is installed in the Sample space, which is next to the coffee stand around the corner (exit onto Elizabeth St) - you'll know it when you see it!

Here's some sneaky preview shots for you in the mean time, with more detailed shots to come after the launch!

Hope to see some lovely faces there to enjoy some experimental sound and tasty beverages!

justin was testing his limits

Is anybody else thinking of that sound effect you get from those plastic toy pipes from back in the day, not dissimilar to a melody pop? Kinda like 'boooooooooooowup'?

No? Just me then? Ok.
