#windowdisplay for #1000starproject.

The community of #banyule created one thousand four hundred
#starlanterns. They were posted on social media and hung in the windows of houses during #lockdown.

This project was inspired by the age-old tradition of keeping a candle burning in the window
for a visitor. The star in the window signifies that, whilst we may now be #isolated, tomorrow
we will be together. It is a symbol of #resilience and #hope.

In 2009 @sanctumtheatre did 5 shows in 8 months in everyday spaces throughout #brunswick and #northcote. One of them was called #bower.

It began with a meeting of the RSPFBHWP (Royal Society for the Protection and Furtherance of the Bird Headed People of the Wiggltail Prairie) in our loungeroom. Then the attendees were guided down to a burnt out factory where a bird headed family did an exquisite performance with the #federationbells.

'I am a writer of books. I am a ghost. While I was

'I am a writer of books. I am a ghost. While I was writing I died and became a ghost … And I went on writing so that ghosts of images of pages of mine would drift over ghosts of plains in a ghost of a world towards ghosts of images of skies in libraries of ghosts of the ghosts of books.’
Gerald Murnane, Inland 1988

I completed the above sketch in the development of my 2009 theatrical adaptation #theplains by #geraldmurnane. @dalkeyarchive_us used it on the cover of the US edition of Murnane's Barley Patch. I am using the above quote to set the scene in the novel I have just completed. #literaryfiction #literature #speculativefiction #theauthors #illustration #charcoalsketch #contemplation @banyuleopenstudio

I drew this picture in 2005 based on a short story I wrote in that same year. In 2010 I started writing a novel based on that same short story. My new years resolution every intervening year has been to finish the novel. I get distracted with exciting art projects and things like building a house and having a child. But two days ago, after feedback from several friends and an invaluable manuscript assessment, I completed a solid draft.

The Authors is a semi-autobiographic study in being. A tour through the catacombs of a collective subconscious. It is more personal than I expected. It has absorbed a lot of the experiences I have had over the past two decades supporting Jasmine through tumultuous times - and all of the insightful conversations we have had together reflecting on these experiences. Now, on my 40th birthday, I am ready to send my manuscript to an agent. Fingers crossed.

#wintergarden

Wow. Whilst in summer you bust your gut sustaining life in the garden - watering it - in winter you must labour to beat #life back - weeding. So much #biota. Especially this year with all the #rain. Mushrooms. Worms. Ducks. Spiders. (Luckily no snakes..we'll save that for another season.)

Sitting on the porch drinking beer, listening to jazz and making #parsley pesto.

Cleaning up the studio and dug up this 20+ year old #selfportrait. I rescued it from the 🔥 that burned my studio 18 years ago. (I think I've aged better than the picture. But that's entirely subjective.)
